My Sony TV is at @60Hz, connected via HDMI (to Yamaha receiver and then to TV) no out-of-sync problems at all with the new binary nor with the original one. However I do have micro stuttering in the video (audio is fine) every time (with both binaries) with 1080p MKVs, MP4s as well as M2TSs. Of note: I am running a brand new 2010 Mini with SL server OS (2.66 Core Duo 2, 4GB RAM, etc). @Jim: same thing here..

Goes completely out of sync on a 2.0Ghz mini. 24p is impossible with this. Goes completely out of sync on a 2.0Ghz mini.

By putting tv on 60hz the problem is solved (but there are micros lags during videos). I noticed the audio out of sync when tv is in 24hz.

That griping done, I'm ready to try this bad boy out.

Changing output to 50/60 hz resolves the sync issue but reintroduces dropped frames (As is expected with 24fps content). Is this being looked into?

Any chance of getting a refresh sometime soon? We’re seeing out of sync playback with the second build as well. Any chance of getting a refresh sometime soon?

It shows a significant decrease in CPU utilization but is unwatchable. This is on a new 2010 Mac Mini 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, with 320M running 10.6.4 using HDMI output. It plays 1080p content fine after switching back to the regular Plex binary. I should add that I run a 24Hz refresh with 24fps source material, of course.
