Is anyone having problems streaming atmos on tidal? None of her albums are playing in atmos, although is the right version, it plays a second and changes to stereo. All other albums in atmos are playing just fine.

Playing from a shield tv pro now.

Takk!

Hey there!

Getting crazy here with my connection.

I have a plex server in a Synology NAS (with static IP), the firewall has a rule to open the port 32400 and I made a port forward 32400 in my router.

It still shows that I have indirect connection!

When I manually chose the 32400 port in Plex settings the Server just disappears and I get the error of Not secure connection. After that is impossible to recover the plex again and I need to reinstall it.

I checked that I'm not in a double NAT or CGNAT (made the test with public and private IP).

Tried to reinstall everything from zero, did, redid and did again the port forward abd rules in the firewall.

I do not have 2 connection, only one with the router using automatic steering (maybe this?)

I changed my pc to public wifi (where I'm trying to fix the plex).

It was impossible to play plex on my shield, it was just buffering all the time even before choosing a file.

What am I missing here? I'm so frustrated! Used my whole Sunday for nothing... I checked the forums and other posts here, but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Hey there!

Looking for a new amplifier with a max budget of 2200usd.

I found both for almost the same price - Rotel 1700usd and NAD 2000usd (without BluOS.

I'm coming from a Rotel RA-12 (dead now). I play mostly Vinyl from a Technics with AT-VM540ml and stream from a Wiim Ultra (so I don't need/want the BluOs from NAD).

What would be the better deal? I can't try both where I live, unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

Denon X1800H + LG C5 + Shield/PS5 – CEC power & input switching broken after working fine

Looking for help diagnosing HDMI-CEC / power and input switching issues in my setup.

Gear:

TV: LG C5 OLED TV (87")

AVR: Denon AVR-X1800H

Sources on denon: PlayStation 5 + NVIDIA Shield TV

Everything was working perfectly before—CEC power on/off and input switching were reliable. Then suddenly it stopped behaving properly.

Current issues:

Power on/off (CEC) is inconsistent.

Turning on a source (PS5 or Shield) doesn’t always power on the full chain.

Sometimes TV or AVR stays off, or turns on without syncing correctly

Input/source switching is unreliable

AVR sometimes switches to the correct input when a device turns on

Other times it either doesn’t switch or switches incorrectly.

Behavior feels random/inconsistent

System “confusion”.

Devices don’t seem to agree on active source

Occasional mismatches between what’s on and what input is selected.

When I turn on the shield the tv doesn't always turn on.

What I’ve tried:

Swapping HDMI cables, using 8k certified between all devices now.

Power cycling all devices.

Checking HDMI-CEC settings (Simplink on LG, HDMI Control on Denon).

Tried many different settings in every device.

Is this typical HDMI-CEC instability, or something specific to Denon + LG setups?

Any better “known stable” config (e.g., only one device controlling power)?

Would a full reset of the Denon AVR-X1800H help, or better to isolate first?

Could firmware or a stuck HDMI handshake state cause this sudden change?

Trying to decide whether to keep fighting CEC or just move to a universal remote setup.

Getting crazy with this setup and I believe the denon is the problematic one (I have a similar setup with a Sony receiver and it works perfectly)
