My tv is a samsung (model QE49C7CAM) and whenever I try to play some 4k HDR content with .srt subtitle enabled it tries to transcode and fails since I have it disabled on my server (RaspberryPi 3b+).
I made sure that the files were not over the bitrate and tracks limits that Samsung imposes.
I made sure that audio was not transcoding as that + sub triggers a video transcode.

I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong of if this is a bug,
