I'm attempting to AirPlay from the iOS app (version 4.4.1) on an iPad (iPad mini 2, iOS version 10.1.1). I'm able to play videos on the iPad just fine, but when attempting to switch over to AirPlay mode, SOME videos buffer forever.. i.e. I can see the buffering progress bar increasing, but the video never starts playing on the Apple TV.
I think I've narrowed this down to only occurring on videos that have AC3 audio. The few videos I have with AAC audio AirPlay fine. I was able to AirPlay AC3 videos before, so I think it may have something to do with the latest PMS update. I'm using PMS version 1.2.6.2975.
I've changed every relevant option on the Apple TV, PMS, and iOS app, with no effect. I've attempted to change the transcoding options, with no effect.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Is there a way to download older versions of PMS? I'm using Linux (CentOS) for the server, and I didn't keep my old RPMs.
EDIT: This is definitely an issue with AC3 audio. DTS works fine, AAC works fine. But any video with AC3 won't AirPlay. Is there a workaround for this issue?
EDIT 2: This is an issue with Plex Media Server. I rolled back to PMS 1.2.0 by installing the DVR version, and the problem went away. So it's an issue with the latest version(s) of PMS. I'll cross-post this to the PMS forum.
