But, on the TV's its 'direct playing'. Could this be the issue? If so how do I make my TVS use direct streaming?
Direct streaming means the audio is being transcoded. Regardless, the playback method shouldn't affect whether SRT works or not since SRT subs should be directly rendered by the client separately.
But do install the Android TV Jellyfin app if you haven't done that. I only mention this because you said "browser on your TV".
Sadly neither have a google play store app. They have their own custom playstore but jellyfin isn't on it, just plex.
At this point should I just buy a firestick, run the jellyfin client through that and hope it fixes the SRT issues?
