As in title. Using newest Jellyfin for android tv with ASS subs results in artifacts every like 10 seconds.
This happens usually with anime, I know that this happens because of transcoding since Jellyfin tv does not support these kind of subtitles. Question is why it produces artifacts? - it looks like sudden bitrate drop on part of image or like a pixel shift for fraction of seconds.
EDIT:
Tested same video on iPhone for via chrome and switched lower mbps to trigger transcoding and there are no artifacts while using same subtitles. So I guess burning subtitles via transcoding produces these issues.
These artifacts are fixed in time - always on 3:25 on said video for example.
