Suggestion for ASS/SSA Subtitle Handling

Hi, while my TV supports ASS/SSA styled subs, Emby usually only provide SRT basic subs for embedded subtitles. I have been able to overcome this issue by having the Emby server extract the subtitle on runtime and providing it separately. However, this runs into a separate issue where there is a delay before the video starts playing, and in the event of longer movies, the lag can be very long or possibly hang the server.

Thus far, the only solution is to either extract the SSA sub and/or burn-in the subtitles manually.

What I would like to suggest is to add an option for the server to automatically extract embedded ASS/SSA subtitles and save it along side the video file, then preferentially use the external SSA/ASS subtitle instead. Ideally, this function can be scheduled during inactive hours.
