Ok. So I ran a series of tests that confirm that the APP Jellyfin for Android TV 0.17.4 actually has a BUG because the player crashes before requesting the Jellyfin Server to send the transcoding. I hope that the following information can be of help to the programmers of the Jellyfin ATV Player.
Here are the reasons that prove the aforementioned BUG ...
I tried to use on my Android Smartphone "Jellyfin for Android" (not AndroidTV) with the same films that crash with the Jellyfin AndroidTV Player 0.17.4 ... the Player integrated in Jellyfin on the Smartphone (derived from ExoPlayer), although not compatible with the ASS and VobSub formats, correctly requests the Jellyfin Server to send the transcoding and everything works without overloading the Raspberry which perfectly manages the transcoding of the video with the ASS and VobSub subtitles !! ...
When I try to use the Jellyfin for Android TV 0.17.4 APP Player (in Google Chromecast) on the same movies it crashes at startup if Forced ASS subtitles are set or if I manually activate ASS or VobSub subtitles and the player does not request the server to send the transcoding!
All this clearly shows that Jellyfin for Android TV 0.17.4 has a BUG that crashes the Player without requesting the transcoding to the server!
Can you verify the above and fix the BUG? ...
Thanks
