I recently learned that PGS subtitles are now supported by Plex for Samsung (previously it would try to burn them causing a video transcode).
I’ve tested them and see the same problem when content is Direct Played, though the disk transfer graph is a little more peaky.
No logs unless anyone from Plex bothers to ask for them, but some images…
This is a 6.4GB file and the transfer rate settles down after around 100 seconds. So like the SRT subs the length of the extreme disk usage is related to the size of the file.
PGS subs have their own issue though. Anytime where there are overlapping lines the subtitles break and stop displaying. e.g. at around 23mins 25secs there’s a background announcement subtitle on the bottom of the screen that stays there for about 7-8 seconds, and during that time there are dialogue subtitles that should display above that line. Once that happens the PGS subs break and stop displaying. That’s for another thread though (and tbh I probably won’t bother, too much effort for no response).
