Hi!
I am a big user of plex sync, mainly to watch TV shows while travelling for my job.
I'm watching most shows in original version with subs.
I have set plex server to have the sub activated by default.
this works pretty fine:
Apparently during sync,if available, the subs are hardcoded in the video files.
This lead to several problems:
1) Very often, i have several subtitles files. (corresponding to different release of the video files). Only one version is correctly synced with the video. But it is not always the one hardcoded in the video ! I really would prefer to have the subs files synced separatly (all versions) as srt or ssa files, and to keep the ability to select the right subtile during playback.
2) Usually subs are available a few days after the video.... And thanks to the auto-sync feature , the video is synced as soon as available. I would like the video synced locally to be updated after sync in case a sub is made available. Of course, if sub files are synced separately as suggested above, this would avoid to reencode twice the video file.
Is this something which is compatible with your plans ?
