ASS File Progress & Question about Custom Subs

[ServerNoob005 2]

Been almost a year since the last time I touched Emby, but I thought I would give it a visit to see what progress has been made since last year. Last time I was in these forums, a Roku Ultra could seemingly not play any ASS files without major issue. It would either never load or play for 3 seconds, maybe screen tear, and then go back to buffering. Turns out now it can play them quite well! Don't know when it happened, but thanks a lot devs, that is a hell of an improvement. I don't have a lot of anime, but it works fine for Hyouka, A Place Further than Universe, & Yuru Camp Season 2 + Specials from a quick test (load up in a few seconds, 33%, 75%, 99% and play).

I have a question though: "What influences an ASS file to load quickly or not in Emby"? 

Yuru Camp Season 1 runs fine once loaded but loads terribly (takes over a minute to start a single episode). HOWEVER, unlike any other anime file I have, this is case where I downloaded custom subs from a github, because I only have the JP blurays which did not come with sub files. Think it was from this github which produces some highly detailed subs. I don't really expect you to download these, but I am curious if there is something to be learned here. What might be causing the issue? Is there potentially a flag issue? Or is it literally just a sub size issue? Are there any settings I can tweak etc. Hate to say the classic "Plex doesn't have this issue" but it does not. Subsequently, that's why I'm curious what Emby is doing that is potentially causing it/if there is anything I can test. I guess let me know if you want the logs (will try to get them), but I didn't know if there was really a point to doing so in this case.

Hi, is it internal or external?

If I understand your question correctly: internal.

Make mkv was used to extract MKVs from the blurays and then remuxed with external downloaded sub files from github via mkvtoolnix. In other words, each episode is a single file. There are no cases where I use external unmuxed sub files on my server.
