Thanks Ants posted:Can they not afford to fix their app with the Plex Pass income? What a horrendous workaround. Text-based subtitles work on all supported platforms, but a lot of content instead has image-based subtitles which are not supported by a lot of TV platforms so they have to be burned in to the video stream at the server which is effectively a transcode operation. Anything sourced from a disc probably has image-based subtitles, anything sourced from TV or streaming probably has text-based subtitles. Since the TV clients are most of the reason to choose Plex over alternatives, and the TV companies have no real incentive to deliver any more capability than whatever Netflix, D+, etc. demand, I don't think there's a lot they could do there. What does annoy me is that they offer a feature to pre-transcode for lower streaming qualities, but no similar option for subtitle injection. It wouldn't be nearly as big of an annoyance if I could configure my Plex server to automatically process the movies ahead of time instead of starting to watch a movie and then having it start stumbling when someone speaks a foreign language.
