Sorry, for some reason my subscription notification is not working on here. I've experienced a handful more issues with subtitles, here's my full list:
1) The original issue, where the micro stutters were occurring during playback when libVLC was the active player
2) 'Unable to load subtitle', often from the same device. I must repeatedly attempt to load subtitles and eventually it works.
3) Subtitles causing my playback to lose HDR and display a washed out SDR picture [see below]
For #1 - It looks like my logs are gone from the other day, so I just recreated the issue with libVLC and experienced the stutter. That said, the log times do not line up with what I just did minutes ago, alas.. https://pastebin.com/jQX19GnJ
Note I did not get any ffmpeg log, the last one I had was from earlier: https://i.ibb.co/fGD0x6X/image.png
Let me know if there's anything I can do to get more relevant logs or be more helpful.
Edit: For #3, I just came across your response in another thread -
> PGS subs aren't supported by some clients. It probably required that the sub be burned in, which requires transcoding. Transcoding will always convert HDR to SDR. SRT subs are more compatible and there are plugins to extract subs and convert them to SRT.
These were PGS subs. Looking into plugins I found Open Subtitles, which sounds more like a sub fetcher, and Subtitle Extract, which sounds like it may pull out embedded subtitles (PGS?).
I installed the latter but it doesn't seem like it takes any configuration. Would I need to do something to enable this for existing titles?
