Hiya! I am new to Jellyfin and installed it on my server in a test environment different from my normal Plex installation. While testing I tried to play a movie with VOBSUB files and it was transcoding saying that "The subtitles are not compatible for Direct Play". Posted below is the results from MediaInfo on the file I was trying to play.
Please let me know how I can fix this or any further steps to troubleshoot. I attempted to use the "External Player" option with VLC and it worked but the audio/video sync was off by a second or two. Thanks for any help in advanced!
