Transcoding vobsub subtitles on Apple TV client

[atano 0]

Does anyone know the current state of things? Emby on AppleTV for me, today in 2026, just won't show VOBSUB subtitles. SUBRIP and PGSSUB work fine. Is that a bug or expected behavior?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Hey Luke, sorry for the delay. Question: that page talks about collecting server logs but I think this is only an issue for one client, the AppleTV. Would you still like me to provide server logs, or would you prefer I just send a small sample video that reproduces the issue reliably? I have one ready to provide if you want, let me know.

Thanks!
