Hardware device to guarantee direct play with ASS and PGS subs - Lemmy.World

Any recommended hardware device to ensure that I won’t need to transcode in order to burn ASS and PGS subtitles? Right now I have a FireTV but it only direct plays SRT.

I could be wrong but ass and pgs are image based and are “burned” because that’s the only easy to make them compatible. Burning requires transcoding, end of story.

Oh ok, that sucks :(

I wonder what streaming services do to offer the ASS-like (hehe) subs without the burning delays.
