Although I commented about this issue in other posts regarding this subtitle format, I haven't made a proper post for Android TV on the Xiaomi Mi Box until now:

 

Videos with VobSub subtitle are getting transcoded, it seems the device doesn't support it or Emby app lacks support for it.

 

I sent the log at 12:50 pm on 26/03/18, there is also a log for an MPEG-2 video, a log for an h.264 video and the server log.

Hi.  These are beta releases so things are constantly in flux.

 

Thanks.

I know they are betas but that's not what I asked, what I wanted to know is why the videos with vobsub subtitles didn't get transcoded in the previous beta version but they are again getting transcoded with this new update?

Today I met Emby's open source fork "Jellyfin" and I was amazed that it has VobSub subtitle support while Emby for Android TV still lacks it, WHY?

They are a very old version of this app.  So old that it still contains a copy of VLC as a player option.  My guess is you were using that - but what else did you give up?

 

And we DO support vobsub.  It just has to be transcoded.

Why it doesn't support direct playback?
