I have lot of mpg4 files with embedded subtitles.
When I play them through plex on computer, I’m able to select one of the embedded subtitles.
If I play the same file on my crhomecast plex app and select the embedded subtitle, nothing shows up.
Any idea why, when it is embedded?

Step 1:
drag the mp4 file into MKVtoolnixGUI and place the resulting MKV file on your server.
If that doesn’t help, proceed to
Step 2: convert the VOBSUB subtitle to SRT, using e.g. Introduction: convert image-based subtitles to SRT with Subtitle Edit
then place it beside the video file, named as explained in https://support.plex.tv/articles/200471133-adding-local-subtitles-to-your-media/
