Android TV version 0.17

[Andokai]

This may be a niche problem, and one that might be on the radar, or is just a configuration setting I have wrong. When attempting to use PGS Forced subtitles (Mainly for anime where it displays the signs and the song lyrics) do not work in the 0.17.x android tv client. I think it may trace back to the removal of LibVLC as a video playback engine, but is there a way to get them to work, or do I just not use them for now?

You need to enable transcoding so that they can be burned into the video.
They don't work with direct playing because the ATV player (Exoplayer) doesn't support PGS subs directly.

ok, I have transcoding enabled on the server, but it tends to play everything at direct for the TV as it generally supports all of the content Im playing. How can I enforce transcoding, but only for the audio/sub or just for this one client? Thanks for all the help, sorry about the bother
