Citadel does have forced subs for every episode released so far.
Any 3rd party streaming device. Shield, Fire TV, Chromecast, or Roku is generally more capable than a Native TV app
The Shield is a little pricy but overall is probably the best, especially for audio. I’ve had several Fire TV’s and they are usually pretty good if you want to save a few bucks. I’ve had some incompatibility issues with Roku so that would be my last choice.
Some Hisense TV’s have support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The Shield does not support HDR10+ so that’s something to consider
I have PIA and split tunneling works eh, ok. Occasionally I have issues accessing network drives from the computer it runs on but it never causes a problem with Plex, inside or outside the network. Just FYI, the Qbit issue is a topic that will never be discussed in this forum for any reason
If I ever have playback issues the first thing I do is remux the file. This solves about 90% of all my issues. I’ve actually just gotten into the habit of remuxing every file with MKVToolNix before I even let Plex have it. You can also set your defaults up to only pass through English subs
Occasionally I still get a stutter for some high bitrate 4k files which I haven’t nailed down yet, but running it through this program always gets rid of it
I think it has something to do with DV and HDR10+ being contained in the same file, but that’s a discussion for another thread
