> I’ve been trying to work out why its been transcoding for me. when I’m direct playing. Seems .srt subtitles on an LG tv are direct stream. Which is kicking of the transcoder. I’ve downgraded all the way back to Version 1.31.1.6733 and so far with a few episodes playing can’t replicate the crash. Hoping sticking to the old version is the fix for me.

I downgraded to earlier versiona and the issue has gone away. not sure how to alert the plex dev team to the issue. but defo a bug with the latest couple versions.
