You can sort of get around this by using external SRT files for subs if your client supports that.

Turning on subtitles if the subs are embedded in the file will also cause the Pi to transcode. Depending on the resolution and quality of the video stream this may be too demanding for the Pi to handle, so you may experience playback stuttering. For example, if you have an mkv file with a h265 video stream and you try to play it back on a client that doesn't support h265 then the Pi will try to convert it on the fly. Transcoding is when the Pi has to convert the video or audio stream on the fly. If that's all you want to do then you have the setup you need. H264 playing direct isn't hard, I have managed it with a Pi 3+. The best thing? The base model is only $20 $5!.ĭo you know a related subreddit? We'd love to know.
