Lip Syncing problem on Firestick app

I saw a similar post, and was told that there had been a solution.  I did not see a solution, just some questions.

Anyhow, I am using the Stream app on the Firestick.   I recorded an AMC program and the audio and visual are totally out of sync.  This has never happened before when I've recorded this same program.  I have multiple Firesticks and they are acting the same way.  All of my other recordings are fine.  This happened a month or so ago with a CBS recording.  I had never had a problem until then.  This same program does not have a problem when I view it using the website or an Ipad.  It is only with the Firestick app.  I have reset the Firestick, cleared the cache and reinstalled the app.  Nothing has fixed the problem.

Most newer televisions have a lip syncing option. It is most likely under the "Audio" menu.

Use the tv remote to handle this.

This only happens randomly on a few shows.  There isn't any problem with lip syncing on 99% of the recorded programs.

Hi @suesheba , thank you for being an active part of our community. I hope your day has been fantastic so far! Since this is only happening on a few specific shows/channels let me investigate a little further. I appreciate the time you have spent making sure it is not an issue that could be fixed easily with a few basic troubleshooting steps. What is the show? Is it a specific episode? I am sure working together we will get to the bottom of this.

It was on two shows. I haven't had it happen again on the same show.  I'll repost if it happens again.

I have noticed the same thing on multiple Firesticks and multiple DVRs. (Xfinity just had me update my DVR to a new model and the problem still persists).  I am currently seeing this on Magnum PI recorded 7/24 and Miracle Workers recorded 8/03 as well as numerous recordings in the past.  If it makes any difference it does seem to be more common on unusual channels like TBS or AMC.  I don't think I could watch any of the Walking Dead I recorded via my firestick because of this issue and had to watch them on the TV directly connected to the DVR.

Now it seems to have gone from an occasional problem to a consistent problem.  EVERY program I have being streamed using the Stream app on the Firestick has a lip sync problem.  No other apps have this problem.  I don't think you can call it a Firestick issue.  It's an issue with the Stream app on the Firestick.  Unwatchable and unusable.

I am happy to hear this issue is no longer occurring! Every now and then I find myself running into the same issue if I leave the application or device using the Stream app running for too long and typically get the issue resolved with a quick power cycling by unplugging the device completely from the power for a minimum of a full minute to restart the device manually. 

 

Have you experienced this issue in the past or was this the first time this issue has happened?
