Since my request is supposedly too similar, it was unfortunately closed. So the whole thing again here for the sake of completeness. Even with a 3700X and an RTX 2080, two streams are not possible. Although the hardware is not yet fully utilized, the streams stutter here and there.

So dear Plex team. Please give us a possibility to deactivate “burn in” in the server!
Or find some way to transcode subtitles in hardware!
@ChuckPa Contrary to your recommendation, I decided on an i3 10100 (I can still upgrade). An i7 8700k would not help me when I look at the results of my test. And even if I buy an i7, the load on consumption and cooling for it are in little proportion.
4K material is becoming more and more popular and unfortunately there are still popular clients like the Playstation that don’t support subtitles. So please dedicate yourselves to this topic!
I can’t imagine that would mean a lot of work to add an option for this. So again, please give us an option to deactivate burn in IN SERVER! THX @sixones @elan @anon18523487 …
