Hey there,
I bought a Fire TV Stick 4k (2024 discontinued edition) and I can't get a enjoyable experience with JF on it. I think it's JF server 10.10.3
When I use the internal player the sound delay gets progressivly worse, so after 10-15 minutes it's unwatchable. A restart of the stream fixes it...for another 10-15 minutes. It's h.264 1080p BR remux with 5.1 DTS-MA sound and JF says it's direct play. The problem consists with various contents. And doesn't exist on Web or iOS.
Since the audio delay isn't always the same I can't get good results with the AVR/Fire TV Audio Sync options.
I couldn't get different results with Bitstream enabled in the JF options. It tried every sound setting on the Fire TV sound options -currently it's on "best possible options".
My current solution is using exoplayer (VLC) but I only get PCM with two channels.
The FireTV Stick is connected to the 4k Port on the AVR and the AVR is connected to Samsung 4k TV. The Fire TV stick's USB is plugged into an outlet.
Since the Fire TV Stick is commonly used I wondered how I could figure out the culprit here. I saw a lot of JF unrelated sound desync problems with the Fire TV Stick but no "real" fixes. Unplugging the Fire TV Stick for half and hour didn't change anything.
I still wonder if the problem is on my side, maybe with the AVR/TV setup or with the Fire TV Stick, now I want to sell it but I'm not sure if that fixes the problem.
