Sony 2010 TV A/V Sync Issues

[NX3]

In the last release full transcoding off mkv was switch off so they play as AVC. I posted about it and it did seem to work but extensive testing, the majority of the time the video and audio go out of sync. If you press stop and then restart sync is reattained but thats not that useful every 15-20 minutes (usual time period of sync issues). To confirm this is on a 2010 Sony Bravia 32EX503 and others reported this in the beta. I'm running wired giga ether and have plenty of bandwidth, the serviio PC is mostly idle and not getting bogged down. It appears to be a limitation of the set, imo. Also I've noticed when playing 1080p MKV as AVC the tv becomes very laggy and can't respond to commands from the remote. The only way to gain control is to turn the set off.

Given the other reports at the beta stage it would seem for the 2010 profile, it would be best to revert to full transcoding of mkv to avoid sync or tv lag issues.

Ticket 485.

illco helped me edit the profile back to transcode mkv / avc and problem sorted. It seems to be a issue with the tv cpu not being able to keep up with the decoding.

I've commented on the ticket.

I'm also experiencing this sync issue on my Sony NX710.

Is there a beta available where this issue is solved? or is there a workaround for the current serviio release?

Thanks!

I changed the Sony profile for 2010 so the files get transcoded to mpeg2 so you need a reasonable processor to do this but it stops a/v sync issues.
