Video with subtitles dont work after getting plex pass

Did you enable hardware transcoding? The synology nas is… kind of notorious for not liking having to burn subtitles in while also doing HW transcoding. I had a nice long back and forth about that a few months back. While they never did claim to find a problem to fix (no patches later that addressed this issue), they did have a workaround using a different VAAPI HW transcoder driver, which for me made my NAS do subtitle transcoding much better than it did before the change.

Try what ChuckPa suggests here: Plex Server cannot handle transcoding with subtitles - #51 by ChuckPa
