The directory that ffmpeg is trying to extract subtitles to is in the same directory tree as the transcode path where transcode and remuxes are written. If your client can't play the file unmodified, Jellyfin will try to remux or transcode and it looks like it is failing due to a probable permissions issue.
So it can't extract subtitles, can't transcode or remux. So why even have that feature then? How to disable it completely? I want to just play the file as is without converting, transcoding or anything else. How do I achieve that?
