Good afternoon!
I'm relatively new to the home server space but have gotten a setup I'm pretty happy with running Jellyfin on TrueNAS Scale. I've run into a problem that I've been able to identify with the help of reddit searches, but I can't understand a workable solution. When I turn subtitles on for some files it ends up transcoding and making my potato of a NAS peg 100% and stutter playback so as to be unwatchable. Happens in browser (chrome and firefox), firestick, and LG tv playback. It sounds like this is an issue with file types and having to "burn in" subtitles, but I haven't found a good answer on what to do about that. I would be eternally grateful if someone could ELI5 how to mitigate this problem.
Running latest versions of all involved software as of posting. NAS is a NUC with i7-5557U CPU and 16GB ram.
Thanks in advance!
