Subtitles not workings if direct play?
I have several shows with built in subtitles rather than external subtitle files. I'm using the Emby Roku app to play these titles. I've noticed that when a file is direct play, I can select subtitles but the subtitles never actually appear.
I understand PGS subtitles will trigger transcoding so they can be burned in. I'm fine with that however it seems there is no option to prefer that over direct play. It seems since the Roku is capable of direct playing these titles that is what Emby has
Apologies. The Roku has rudimentary support for ASS/SSA subtitles directly and will have all formatting/tagging removed when displayed. Sometimes the Roku will remove everything including all the text and not just the format/tags. To fix this you can try using the "Attempt Playback Correction" button. Each time will allow you to change playback method from (DirectPlay->Remux/DirectStream->Transcoding) so the subtitles should show after that. You can use the Playback Correction multiple tim
