I have a 4x2 hdmi matrix switch with 2 Amazon fire sticks, cable box, and a Nintendo Switch switching between 2 tvs in my basement. The idea being I can watch 2 sporting events at a time and easily switch from my 75" and a 32" TV mounted above, with my audio receiver always playing output 1 (whatever is on the 75" tv). It's a sports bar kind of setup.
It works great with 1 small annoyance. When switching fire sticks, they tend to pause when they aren't being output to either TV even for a split second. Example, stick 1 is playing on output 2 and I switch to output 1, no issues. If stick 2 was playing on output 1, when I switch it to output 2 it pauses because it wasn't being output to either tv for the second it took to shift around the outputs. Then I have to press play again on the firestick remote.
Anyone have thoughts on how to fix this. Does Roku have this same issue (or could someone with a Roku test it?)
