I've downloaded the latest and set up the Emby Server (Docker) environment and I've been thoroughly enjoying this wonderful application so far. I was using muxed MKVs with embedded subs (PGS) and it all worked perfectly. Direct play in 4K and Software Transcoding worked fine, both displayed the embedded subs perfectly well. I'll use Oppenheimer here as an example. (Subs here are located slightly to the left of the frame, that's due to the subs included and not a fault on Emby's part.) Of course when I confirmed all worked well, I had to try out Hardware encoding for more powerful conversion and the possibility for friends and family to access my repository remotely. Now I noticed multiple "shortcomings" that came with this: - A noticable green hue (compare the two images), alltough this might the fault of wrongly transcoded DV HDR filter (doing research on that) - When using the embedded subs (preferable due to perfect audio timing), I notice that when HARDWARE trancoding specifically, the subs seem to get misplaced, seemingly in the 1920x1080 quadrant of a 4k frame... but that is indeed very strange behaviour. Both transcode logs are included, aptly named. I will add that while both are pretty big downfalls, mostly the subtitle problem is actually dealbreaking as most of my users will need subtitles. I tried to download SRT subtitles as a substitution, that resulted in the following on the Web Client: The green hue remains, but the SRT subs are correctly displayed in the Web Client, Huzzah! I test on the Windows Theather app: Nothing... And the hue persists also here. When I try to get the PGS subs to work in here after a 4k > 1080p transcode just like in web player, they seems to shift to the wrong place. Of this last two screenshots there's also a ffmpeg log included, aptly named. I will admit that I've searched on this topic for quite a bit allready and nothing seems to resolve the subtitles missing or being misplaced. Is this a known issue? Has this been seen before? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Does it support external PGS (.sup) subtitles? If not, are there any plans to support it?

In this file Emby selects ID 5 (plain text subtitles) as the default subtitle. Why don't it select ID 4 (in PGS format)?

I am on latest beta of Emby Android TV app running on Google certified Android 8.0 TV. I have connected my TV to Sony HT-RT3 soundbar (via HDMI ARC) that supports only AC3 and EAC3 (no DTS). So if I play a video with DTS audio, Emby app transcodes audio alone and use the same video stream. All good and fine. But of late I am starting to notice an issue. Consider the following the scenarios. 4K HDR Video Dolby Digital+ 5.1 Audio SRT subtitle Result = Direct Playback 4K HDR Video Dolby Digital+ 5.1 Audio PGSSUB subtitle Result = Direct Playback 4K HDR Video DTS 5.1 Audio SRT subtitle Result = Direct video + Transcoded audio But if 4K HDR Video DTS 5.1 Audio PGSSUB subtitle Result = Transcoded video + Transcoded audio Is this the expected behaviour? I am not sure why PGSSUB needs to be burned (resulting in video transcoding) if audio is an unsupported format. I mean the app displays PGSSUB just fine if the audio is supported. So what difference does it make to subtitle whether the audio format is supported or not?

Hi Some PGSSUB subtitles aren't rendering properly on my Nvidia Shield TV. Text based subtitles are fine, this only seems to happen with UHD remuxes. This is the on the latest 1.7.54g version. Some subtitles work fine on other UHD remuxes for example Interstellar. I'd be happy to provide more info if needed, I attached a photo for starters
