Plex will do anything other than make their player easy to use.

My only real complaint is their app is laggy.

Do you have other complaints with it?

Biggest issue I and my friends have with my Plex server is the constant buffer-play-for-a-minute-buffer issue with certain anime subtitle formats. Although the little bit of searching I’ve done with that indicates that may be more of an issue with the device being streamed on than with Plex itself. I dunno.

Certain subtitle formats cannot be directly streamed, so your server is probably re-encoding video on the fly to burn in the subtitles. PGS format is actually a series of images and will always require re-encoding video. Picking SRT should work with device direct streaming.

That must be it, then. Thankfully I’ve got Bazarr set up to snag SRTs for imported media, so those should generally be available.

I added whisper and have never looked back. Sometimes it's not exactly right but it's usually obvious and funny 🤣
