Include subtitle stream, without hardcoding into video

How do I setup UMS such that subtitles are not hardcoded into the video stream, but rather just sent along as a subtitle stream? Right now, UMS does both, which results in the subtitles showing up twice on screen if I enable the subtitle stream on the renderer. I'd rather just let the renderer decide if an how to show the subs.

I think that must be a bug, it's supposed to do either or. This is decided by the renderer configuration file.

I fixed it by adding:
Code: Select all
StreamSubsForTranscodedVideo = true
This does however introduce a new problem: subtitles disappear after seeking in a transcoded video, see
