Subtitle Burn In on Roku Client - FeralHogEnjoyer - 2025-06-10
Hi, first I want to say that I'm incredibly grateful for the jellyfin devs and community making such awesome software. My question is this:
Is there any way to make a Roku client ask the server for subtitle burn-in when transcoding? When transcoding, the subtitles timing is sometimes off. My understanding is that burning in the subtitles fixes this (at the cost of a more computationally expensive transcode). I know you can ask for subtitle burn in on the jellyfin web client but this doesn't transfer to the Roku client according to my testing.
Thanks!

Roku does not support this yet. If you want to track it, there's already a ticket created for this: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/issues/347
