Too bad subtitles don’t work on Jellyfin
Edit: after going to Jellyfin technical support on discord I think I have it mostly working, I don’t know. Seems like I’ll be transcoding everything.
Why don’t you post the solution publicly so people know how to get subtitles working?
Here’s a few of the people who posted about subtitles not working. This is just page 1 and 2 from what looks like hundreds of posts. No solutions in any of these pages.

I am not asking you to DM me. My request is to go to support in Jellyfin discord where we can discuss the issue. I agree jellyfin is not free from issue. But when you say “too bad subtitles don’t work” , it’s leaves the rest of us confused. The issues you listed down, might be true in specific cases for example AAS subtitles not rendering correctly in VLC on Android TV. You see how specific the issue is ? In your case , we don’t know what’s up.
Someone wanting to try jellyfin (who is not affected by your issue) would shy away from even trying.
In any case, I had no intention to accuse you or offend you in any way. I apologise if I came out strong.
I have to install a third party program that runs on a schedule and extracts embedded subtitles? Why should I have to do that?
Nobody can actually post a solution? I have to go to discord as suggested by one person here? Lots of down votes, no information available despite countless people saying subtitles don’t work and the best excuse is that Jellyfin devs inherited a mess.
I’ve worked in IT administration for over 20 years.
Downvote this too, just pretend everything works for everybody. Pretend if it doesn’t work, it’s because end users can’t fix a broken media server.

Yoo bad you don’t know how to troubleshoot. In anycase, head over to discord. Post your issue, I will personally help you resolve it.
Burrrn

Text-based subtitles mostly work. Picture-based subtitles require transcoding or a client that supports them.
They don’t work for me. They don’t work for a lot of people. Emby works fine for everyone as far as I can tell.
They… Don’t? Mine seem fine?
op is just lazy and does not know how to resolve his own problems
