Plex Media Server Logs_2022-06-05_08-41-56.zip (2.6 MB)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Remotely from NAS location on Fire TV, open plex client.
  2. Sign in as one of the users(not Admin user).
  3. Attempt to play the channel or a recording from that channel.
    Results: Playback starts to buffer a lot, and playback is basically none existent.

This issue seems to happen on fire tv, as I was unable to reproduce it on my android phone remotely.
Troubleshooting: I tried rebooting, reinstalling the client app, restarting the server, and adding a new user.
Remote transcoding is enabled and playback is 720p 2mbps.

From initial logs:

It tries to add subtitles even though the menu displays theyre off.

The workaround to fix it is: while in playback enable subtitles, then disable
