In jellyfin-chromecast source it says that SRT can be converted to VTT by Jellyfin before delivering to the Cast device which is why video transcoding is not required for SRT - because Jellyfin actually delivers VTT to the Cast device which handles that format natively. Some subtitle formats, such as ASS, possibly cannot be converted without embedding in the file.
* SRT subs can be "transcoded" to vtt by jellyfin.
Also check transcoding settings. The option "Allow subtitle extraction on the fly" should be enabled.
I tried digging in jellyfin/jellyfin source & docs but couldn't find anything clearly stating which subtitle formats can be converted to VTT without video transcoding. If this isn't working correctly a bug should be opened on jellyfin/jellyfin.
Describe the bug
If a video file contains ASS subtitles, the video is always transcoded, although the same does not happen when it contains SRT subtitles.
To Reproduce
-c:a copy -c:v copy -c:s srt -map 0
)Expected behavior
Video should not be unnecessarily transcoded
