Hey, I’m using Jellyfin and AndroidTV as client.
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?

It’s not an issue, it’s expected behavior for transcoding when subtitles are in the original format.
You can disable subtitles burning while transcoding, or you can try and find a different client that will use subtitles from a file, but it’s probably going to be hit or miss, and require a bunch of upfront work.
