Subtitles Out of Sync Playing HEVC on Plex- The Solution

In fact, Plex is still not possible to direct play hevc files with ‘direct play’ external subtitles for instance, the subtitles need to be inserted in the container. It is still not possible to ‘project’ the external subtitles on a hevc file, plex will take the hevc video file and transcode it into a H.264 in order to be able to send the subtitle file and for the client to ‘project’ the external subtitles on the video.
