Any way to stop PLEX converting the video with SRT subs enabled?

Is the audio transcoding? If so, choose an audio track that direct plays. SRT subtitles should then direct play.

Enabling image based subtitles, PGS & VOBSUB, forces a video transcode.
If the audio transcodes, enabling SRT subtitles forces a video transcode.
If the audio direct plays/streams, enabling SRT subtitles does not force a video transcode.

THANK YOU! My audio track wasn’t directplay compatible so i switched to one that was and then the video successfully played with srt subs on and no transcoding or loss in video quality
