Hello, I’m struggling to understand how this thread went from a problem with unwanted video transcoding with h.264 as an example, to xvid problems…
The problem Rick reported is still there. I have an LG oled55A1 with latest webOS and latest Plex client versions. Running latest version of Plex server on Windows 10.
This tv does not support DTS or trueHD so audio needs transcoding.
H.264 + DTS : video direct plays, audio transcoded to AAC, All good.
H.264 + AC3 + srt subs : video direct plays, audio direct plays, subs rendered by app. All good.
H.264 + DTS + srt subs: video transcodes, audio transcodes, subs rendered by server. Container goes from mkv to mpegts. Problem right there.
Same thing happens with HEVC x265, DTS-HD, trueHD or whatever codecs are used.
As soon as audio is transcoded and subs are activated, video transcode is triggered and streams are remuxed.
I tried every solution possible and I still have the problem.
Why are subtitles burned in video if the only thing that was needed is audio transcoding? Doesn’t make any sense…
Thanks for replying, have a good day!
