I have noted that after the latest release there are buffering occurring now on irregular basis, something that was not the case before.
It does not happen when on the same network watching the same video on the iPhone or a computer but is only related to the PS4 app in my view.
The issue with subtitles (ASS) is still there and does not occur on the iPhone or computer, making me think it is an issue with the PS4 app.
Please, as always, let me know if you want screenshots of the issues and I will be happy to assist.
Other than that, @Moussa is doing a great job fixing with the PS-app
@Moussa The buffering is gone, thx for that
I did some research to the “cropped” (ASS) subs and now I know what the PS4 app is doing.
On TV-shows with (ASS) subs included in .mkv-files the app is actually zooming in the entire picture, about 2-5% making the lower part of the picture and also text be “cropped”.
The strange thing is that in Movies with (ASS) subs included in .mkv-files this does not happen(?)
Server Version#: 1.21.4.4079
Player Version#: 5.9.1
Ps4 App always force transcoding Video if Subtitles are activated. (Embedded, External and Online Subtitles) on MKV Files.
Audio Formats i tested AC3, DTS, DTS-HD MA, AAC
If subtitles activated Audio goes Direct Stream and Video Transcodes
If subtitles deactivated Audio goes Transcode and Video Direct Stream
On my slower DS218+ Synology NAS this cause Video buffering because Hardware to slow for Transcoding Video on 1080p.
