It looks like there’s an issue on your server that’s causing FFmpeg to transcode the subtitle files, which is leading to these errors.
Can you try setting up a new instance?

1. Shut down Jellyfin.
   
2. Go to C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin and rename the "Server" folder to "Server_original."
   
3. Restart Jellyfin. This will essentially give you a fresh installation.
   
4. You’ll need to create a new admin account and set up your libraries again.
   
5. Afterward, test it on your TV to see if the issue persists.
   

Your original data is still there you would just need to delete the new "Server" folder and then restore the backup folder.

I'm having trouble doing that. I clicked shutdown and then renamed the folder. Upon doing that I'm locked out from being able to load the server and create a new account.

I renamed it back to "Server" so I could load it and make a new account. But that has the same problem as my original account. 

I also shutdown the server by exiting via the systray icon but it made no difference.

How can I make a new account from scratch? When I rename the folder it keeps on blocking me with this error: 

We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again.

I've got that error everytime but usually I just attempt it two or three times and it works. But now renaming the folder it won't let me load it.
