hi guys, new to Plex and love its function. Already set up 3 users accounts for my wife and daughter. they're pretty about it.
I know this questions has been asked hunders times, and I have serached a lot, but couldn't find a proper answer. So I decide to open one myself.
when I enable subtitle, plex starts to transcode, once disable, it will direct play. I have set all to direct play, subtitle burn image only.
Movies are MKV H264, no matter it is embedded or external, once enable, it will be transcoding. have tried to name the subtitle to XXX (year).eng.srt ( I don't think it really matters? most my movies' name are not this format. eg The.Secret.Life.of.Pets.2016.1080p.BluRay.DD5.1.4Audio.x264, I just keep the subtitle the same name of it). tried encode to UTF-8 by subtitle edit( not sure if i am doing right. open .srt by subtitle edit, top right choose encode UTF-8 then save.). both not working.
Tried on Samsung S7 edge and nexus 7 2013, the same.
BTW, does transcoding effect the quality of moves?
