I was going to say “it’s been reported for quite awhile.” but I’m actually able to say, it’s not the same for me.
When I have the Fire Stick client set to always burn subtitles, it actually is working for me for external ASS subs now that I just tried it. That’s not much of a help – because I certainly don’t want to use that setting. I didn’t buy a client that can natively handle VOB/PGS subs just so I can transcode them along with all the the ASS subs I want to maintain fonts/screen placement on and SRT subs that can be played normally, too.
