Hi. What happens if you enable the transoding options you have disabled for that user?

[ughaus 0]

It errors twice but then plays in transcoding mode. As a comparison both Samsung Tizen and Android phone app work with direct play.

In transcoding on Android TV I lose the ability to time offset the subtitles.

[ebr 16177]

Can you please play that item for a few seconds and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

Sent them in DM, thank you for assisting.

Hi.  Exo is throwing a fit with that audio track.  Are you sure this exact same item plays fine with the earlier version of the app?

[ughaus 0]

No way to really confirm if previous version with this particular content was working but I can confirm same content work on the Tizen and Android phone apps.

Found a workaround for now, changed > Playback > audio > downmix to stereo and now I am able to use the subtitle time offset.

Though would be nice to have the ability to use subtitle time offset when transcoding.
