HW Transcoding not working anymore (Synology Diskstation)

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
85

Ok, That didn’t take long.

  1. The audio can’t be DirectPlayed by the TV.
  2. DirectPlay is canceled at that point, resulting in DirectStream
  3. So far, no big deal.
  4. Adding the subtitles, and needing to use the HLS protocol (which the LG uses) is where it falls down.
  5. It can’t send the subtitles over HLS with DirectStream audio. – Known Limitation being worked on (most recent update was Dec 19,2019)
  6. This is where the HW acceleration gets turned off / skipped. – double wham.

Not the news you wanted but this is where it stands.
