I'm running Jellyfin via the lscr.io docker image. Previously I ran the proper Jellyfin image but for whatever reason hardware acceleration with my ARC A310 refused to work properly with it.
For whatever reason the lscr.io build is very, very hot for subtitles. I have 9.1gb of them. I've used maybe 2 or 3 subtitles in the past year, but Jellyfin keeps processing subtitles -- to the point where things become unwatchable (ffmpeg will exit and the Android TV client will error) unless Jellyfin religiously pulls ALL the subtitles out and stores them, OCD-style. Subtitles for languages I can't even pronounce are taking up space and processing time. If I delete them, Jellyfin will literally stop everything until it re-pulls its precious subtitles.
Sometimes it'll even complain:
> System.ArgumentException: Unsupported format: srt
Subtitles aren't even enabled in the Android TV client for playback but Jellyfin nopes out because it can't handle the subtitles I don't even want.
Why does this happen, how do I turn it off, and how do I make sure it stays off? I don't recall this ever being an issue with the proper Jellyfin image.
