Your movie media should only have one source of audio, and that audio should be either AC3 5.1 or DTS 5.1
Steps to reproduce:
- The leak will not show if you recently updated/re-installed a fresh PMS until your 3rd or 4th media is played (it feels like its building up the leak)
- If using Plex Web App, use the keyboard arrows back and forth, if using Samsung TV use the remote back and forth.
- For Plex Web App, start the movie randomly in the middle of its duration, then use the keyboard back arrow to rewind 3x, the first initial leak should show.
- To confirm the leak, using Tautulli to see if the SRT is being converted to ASS, and that the subtitle is actually showing on the movie.
- Rewinding more, the leak will increase from its initial CPU usage.
- Now here this differs from different OS (linux, windows, Mac), but with windows, holding down forward arrow for 2secs or more (forwarding the movie) the leak would disappear or go back to its initial CPU leak that it started before its rise. (Subtitles may or may not show).
Reason I said using keyboard arrows was that I’ve tested using the mouse to manually click on a specific time of the movie, the leak would show, but will not rise (tested on windows).
I’ve done extensive tests to different media, and logged each leak here:
