Everything is usually working fine using direct play. But for a few files, when using subtitles, I will get the message “burning subtitles” and the server will start transcoding it. I haven’t really figured out what format is causing it, but it only happens when enabling subtitles.
Anyone else having this issue? Can I do anything to fix it?
The Android client seems to have dropped a few player engines in a recent update. Previously there was an option to use libvlc, omxplayer or a third option that I can’t recall. Seems the developer opted to go with the worst option.
The AndroidTV app can use external players such ss VLC. I went with kodi as a client instead.
