Can you confirm that transcoding audio + subtitles still means video transcoding on LG TVs

LG B7 OLED, Plex client v5.12.2
PMS 1.22.2.4276 on a Synology DS918+

Playing a blu-ray rip on my LG B7 OLED. TrueHD audio transcodes because it is not supported by the TV. Enabling SRT subtitles results in a video transcode.

@larssorensen83

only recommend buying Samsung TVs?

FYI, there’s bug in Tizen 5.5. Until Samsung fixes it subtitles will be burned into the video if the audio is transcoding. See post below.

I looked at flatpanelshd.com. According to that site, Samsung 2020 models run Tizen 5.5 and the 2021 models run Tizen 6. No idea if the bug is also in Tizen 6 (not sure if they’re shipping yet).

Two Tizen Samsung TV's - one works with subtitles (srt), one doesn't

Tizen 5.5 uses HLS vs Tizen 5.0 that uses DASH. Streaming subtitles are an issue in HLS when not direct playing, so it needs to be burned in. Unfortunately a bug on Samsung’s side is preventing us from using DASH for Tizen 5.5, so until that’s fixed by them, we’re stuck.
