Server Version#: 1.25.6.5577  
Player Version#:

I uploaded 9 seasons. These seasons played just fine as .mp4 and then I ran FileBot for subtitles and then Transcoding started to take place which killed my playback (my server is on an old PC refer to [The better of two evils](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-better-of-two-evils/780457/2) ). I then deleted the subtitles thinking Plex would resume normal playback without transcoding… but no. It refuses to play back normally and decides it needs to transcode even with Auto Subs OFF and the .srt files gone. PLEASE HELP ME!
