Regular audio drops in some MP4 podcasts
I and some other users have noticed that there are some video podcasts that exhibit regular audio dropouts and "chipmunk" voices when played on the Roku, but not when played on other devices/players. For instance, all of the G4 podcasts exhibit this behavior.
Here's an example of one that has both frequent audio drops and chipmunk voice: http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp4 ... nt_pod.mp4
And a couple others that exhibit one or both of these. I can provide more examples, if necessary.
http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp4 ... st_pod.mp4
http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp4 ... 09_pod.mp4
A resolution to this would be most welcome.. 😉

Bumping in hopes of getting some acknowledgment from "the powers that be"...

Re: Regular audio drops in some MP4 podcasts
I have noticed this also recently in video podcasts from the NY Times: Pouge and "The Minimalist." Both in a home-grown app that I am working on and on the iTunes Podcast Channel. Both stutter and the audio is higher in pitch than it should be.

We've taken a look at these links, and have fixed the issue in an internal build. We'll include the fix in an upcoming release.

I was seeing a very similar problem: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=34871
Would you happen to know if your fixes for this issue also resolve mine?
Thanks!

Re: Regular audio drops in some MP4 podcasts
As far as I can tell, that video is also playing correctly with this fix.
