SRT subs causing transcode

Server Version#: Version 1.18.8.2527
Player Version#: Latest on firestick

Hey guys. So for some reason when im trying to play SRT subtitles on videos, it starts transcoding. Both video and audio directplay fine but as soon as i enable subs it transcode, and i have “only image formats” selected for my subtitles. I tried using the new player but that just gives me an error lol.

Same here and only on Android, as soon as SRT subtitles are selected, transcoding is triggered and subtitles are burned into the file, it doesn‘t matter what option is configured for subtitles. On ios/tvos the same file works perfectly fine. might be server related bug as the android player should be capable to play SRT suntitles without transcoding

Supposedly fixed in beta:
