Close Encounters 4K disc rip - sound drifting out of sync - missing entire sections of movie during playback with PLEX
Posted: Sat May 01, 2021 10:58 pm
EDIT - I THINK THIS IS A PLEX ISSUE - PLAYING WRONG VERSION - HAVE BOTH 1080P and 4K versions on server - seems to be mixing up sound from both or something.
I have just tried to watch the Close Encounters of the Third Kind 40th Anniversary Edition 4K which I ripped with v1.16.3 a few days ago.
Watching on NVidia Shield 2017 though PLEX app streaming from a Windows 10 based PLEX media server PC (Version 1.22.3.4392)
There is SEVERE audio issue... sound does not stay in sync with the picture for more than a minute before it drifts off - voices and on screen is off by seconds after only a minute!
I don't know what is going on - never seen it before on any ripped Blu-ray on Shield and I have been ripping my own 1080P Blurays for years.
If I stop the movie and resume, the sound/picture line up again, but it is gone again after less than a minute.
Similarly if I use remote to go back 10 seconds, sound lines up but then gone again very quick.
Movie is unwatchable.
Any ideas?? Could it be this strange DTS XLL format?
EDIT - THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE SERIOUS ISSUE HERE.
I just tried to view the movie on PC using KMPlayer (my usual media player) to see if the sound drifted out of sync there too, or if it was a PLEX/Denon AV amp problem and I suddenly noticed ENTIRE SCENE IN MOVIE WHICH DID NOT PLAY AT ALL WHEN I WATCHED IT ON SHIELD!
It seems that in this 50GB version of movie there is a long extended scene at around 15:00 after the boy runs into forest at night, with Roy trying to get the children to go to crazy golf or Pinoccio movie just before the wife gets the phone call for Roy to go into work (at 17:30)... which was NOT in the version that just played on PLEX/Shield at all.
On PLEX the boy runs into forest and then cuts straight to wife answering phone call.
There are probably more extra missing scenes but i didn't look any further yet.
I don't know what's going on but it looks like some severe "seemless branching" issue maybe?
Is PLEX not able to read or understand what MakeMKV has written to MKV file or is MakeMKV writing something wrong?
I have also posted this on PLEX forum https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-not-playi ... ers/713326
I hope this is not corruption in MKV movie creation and it means we have to go back and re-rip many movies again, but the fact that a PC media player is able to play the file correctly tells me this may be a PLEX problem!!
