Where can I find a list of all supported video and audio codecs for Samsung Plex app?

I have a Samsung 4K 2019 RU7 series with Tizen 5.0 and the manual is pretty complete regarding the media supported:

But, this does NOT apply to the apps (like Plex), as I’ve read here in the forums that Samsung enforces a web sandbox for apps, so they are limited in what they can do. For example, the manual says the TV supports .ASS subtitle, but it’s not true for Plex, as I tried to run some videos with .ASS subtitle and they failed, the only subtitle format that runs smoothly is .SRT.

Taking all that into consideration, is there a list of formats/codecs that are supported by Samsung Plex app?

The article below is the information you’re looking for. There’s some excellent information about Smart TVs in general and then more about specific models.

Specifically:

Other content will usually need to be either Direct Streamed or transcoded. Enabling subtitles of any type will require them to be transcoded (burned) into the video stream.
