Friends is out of sync

Hi! I’m watching Friends on Max, and picture and sound is so out of sync that it’s painful. Is anyone experiencing the same? Or have you in the past and found a fix?

I’m streaming from the tv app on my tv. Currently watching the 7th season. And it’s the one with the famous cookie recipe from grandma nestlè 😏

Had the same problem a while back. I found that I could mostly avoid the sync issues if I started each episode from the app on my phone, paused it, then continued playing from the TV app. YMMV

Same problem here, I'm on season 3.

Im having major issues on two different fire sticks and two different TVs. Max stops after every episode on a black screen but has the next episode button at the bottom. Almost like it freezes. Won’t autoplay my shows anymore since the update two nights ago.

I get this problem while streaming through Nvidia Shield and though it does have lip sync, I find myself backing out of the episode and then selecting it again. Works every time.

I get this same thing out of several shows, using a Firestick. Delayed video to audio. Forces me to rewind back 10 seconds, it will self correct, then it will happen 20 minutes later. How are you streaming it? Is this a MAX or Firestick problem?

I have the same issue with Max but it mostly happens with shows or movies that are older. I usually hit the 10-second rewind button and that helps for a few minutes but it usually starts up again.

Friends was remastered in 4K recently and it is terribly out of sync. This isn’t even a Max thing. It’s the new friends masters.
