Looking at the time it took to release 3.7.1 we‘ll be talking about April/May for the next version?

That’s just rude and uncalled for, I am sure you are very proud of yourself

How is that rude? It‘s a simple question which btw remains unanswered together with an extrapolation based on recent facts. You could have answered that the team is working hard on the next release and the release is scheduled for end of February. But you didn’t. Instead you chose to post a meaningless answer and be offensive on top.

They're obviously working on the next release, and it was a little rude since you're implying that you'll have to wait 3 months for a fix. There's been a few releases that take awhile, but it's because there's a lot behind the scenes that are changed/updated. There's a lot of different setups out there, and what works for me could break for you, so it needs to be tested. It takes time and there's no exact timeline to release.

I admit that my question might have been fueled by a certain disappointment as I haven't been able to use MrMC since last September when the audio problems startet with version 3.7.0! :cry: That actually makes it almost 5 months without a working fix. You need quite a bit of patience and capacity for suffering to endure this as a paying customer.

Best bet is to try and get in the testing process to help identify them in the future. I don't have any files similar to what you're having issues with, so sometimes it takes someone that normally has a certain issue to be in testing. I know the devs want to get fixes out as fast as possible, but if they push stuff up without testing other issues pop up and more people are affected. It's a hard spot for them to be in.

I'm seeing the same issue on the FireTV Stick 4K, video and audio are out of sync. I installed Kodi 18 and it seems to work well, so it is possible. Plex client also works, so not sure it's the new stick.

I initially bought MrMC (a few times on different accounts) to solve problems I used to have with Kodi, which it did. But now the situation seems to be reversed, it feels like the Android (Fire TV?) version of MrMC is not getting the attention it used to. I asked a few questions here in the forums about a problem I have with a local Plex server not being discovered, and no answers. Developers used to be more engaged in the past :( Perhaps the focus is on other platforms these days?
