I corrected the topic earlier this morning before any comments. The issue is on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I have one of them installed on my Roku TV so that I can play AV1s. As for the Shield+AV1, although it does not have the ability to HW decode AV1s, it does a great job SW decoding (Direct Play) them using either VLC or Just Player set as the external player in the JF Playback section.
Anyway, I have found the reason for the audio sync issue on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I went through my settings in Staxrip that I used for the shows that have the audio issue. I set everything back to default settings and encoded a clip and tested on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It played perfectly. I then added one setting at a time and encoded different versions as I added settings. I then played each version in order on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. The setting that caused the audio to go out of sync was when I enabled "Open GOP". I then added all my settings back in, minus Open GOP and re-tested and the audio is perfect.
I am not sure why this only happens on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and not on the Shield, especially when they are both setup the same and using the same external video players. Would this be a Fire TV Stick 4K Max issue or a JF issue? Seeing how the audio issue on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max happened while using ANY video player (not just Exoplayer) makes me think it may be a Fire TV Stick 4K Max issue.
Anyway, sorry for the confusing post. It was a long day yesterday when I typed it up. Thanks for the help.
