Transcoding because of subtitles

[inffy 0]

Yesterday I was trying to watch a tv show but for a reason not really known Emby started to lag and after checking i noticed that it has started to transcode the file because of the subtitles.

 

The strange thing is that i have played same kind of files fine with Emby but for some reason it now decided  to transcode.

 

Tested the same file with Plex and it went without a hiccup.

 

Attached is a log

@@inffy I'm guessing you unchecked the option in server transcoding settings to allow subtitle extraction on the fly.

Oh damn, it seems I have that unchecked. Thanks for the help

What were you trying to accomplish when you configured that?

I guess it was just mistake on my part. Can't remember why would I have disabled that.
