I have a few videos I ripped from CDs that I’m loading onto a personal plex server, but all of them use the type of subtitles that will force the video to transcode.

Is there an easy place for finding .srt files? I figured this community would know…

Most that I download automatically have a subtitle when you finish the download. You have to play the file (I use VLC) and then I click on Subtitle and find out if it’s forced otlr regular subtitle. Then use Handbrake and burn in the forced (or regular subtitle, depending on what you want) and then add to my server. I do this so if Plex goes away then I won’t have to worry about it having built in subtitle support.

Hardcoding is a bad practice IMO

Any explanation as to why it’s a bad practice? For me personally, I only burn in foreign subtitles. But I can imagine others burning all of them.into the movie.
