Subtitle style changed overnight

[podonnell 47]

Having an odd issue this AM. Was using my TV last night and my subtitles were how they normally are. Now, this AM I am seeing extra large subtitles with >> in front of them. 

Emby for LG 1.0.47

My TV itself did appear to have an update or something as it took longer to boot, but my understanding is all subtitle display is controlled via Emby settings. 

 

Anyone experience this before?

No, only certain subtitles, which the settings screen indicates.

I meant comparatively to my TV controlling them. It's either Emby or in the event of a graphical subtitle where the video controls them. But my TV itself would have no bearing over them to my understanding.

 

This happened globally to every video I have. I use Emby on my SHIELD as well and those have not been altered.
All subtitles I tested with are .srt

Seems like some type of ffmpeg conversion happening when loading them? Here are the logs:
