Amazon Video - Lip Sync

So looks like my amazon video is suffering the same lipsync errors that i get in youtub, KODI also has the same issue.  Not a problem with KODi as it allows you to delay / advance the sound timing (+0.150ms is the fix for me)

 

when are we going to see a fix for this, it has been around a year since the original update that caused this was released.

Hi there

 

I agree, some of the Lip Sync issues have gone on for far too long.  I rarely use the YouTube app on the TV, simply because of the bad lip sync issues.  Unfortuantely there is also a large list of bugs and issues that remain un-resolved for far too long too.  Hopefully they will be fixed soon (fingers crossed!)

 

Cheers

HI Quinnicus

 

appreciate the reply, and i know you dont work for sony etc.. so please dont take the below to be directed at you.

 

its fine saying hopefully, and fingers crossed however this simply is not good enough from such a big player in the entertainment game, at the very very least we should at least be informed of

 

a.) aknowledgement of an issue

b.) a statement that they are working towards a fix

c.) most importantly an ETA of a fix

 

imagine if a company like ford made a car, that car has a list of faults like many do, lets say that the fault is the car cant indicate left. now imagine that they simply ignore there customer base, now imagine the customers pay a premium to turn left, now imagine the customers just hope they fix it lol

 

yes its really as ridiculous as it sound but is a fair comparison.  Is there anyway we can get an official response from sony of this and other Major issues ?

I absolutely agree with you, Sony is most of the time pretending everything is fine. One question: do you have this lip sync issue with all the materials?

In my case, it seems to be worst on the UHD Grand Tour episodes, especially 2 and 3. On the other stuff - like older HD movies it seems to be almost in sync.
