Has anyone else noticed a problem with #plex subtitles on ad supported content? I was watching a foreign language film with subtitles and every time it went to an ad break Plex would disable the subtitles and the only way to get them back was to go to playback settings and turn the subtitles off and on each time. This is extremely annoying to have to do this, considering how many ad breaks they insert into the average film on this platform.
@plex I also have to add that the ad breaks would be a lot more tolerable if they didnt repeat the same ad multiple times in a single break, surely #plex has enough unique adverts they can fill each slot with without repeating the same one multiple times. On top of the subtitle issue this just makes the experience of watching ad supported content even more frustrating to the point where i think i may have been better off pirating the content rather than trying to watch it through legit means.
@sudoaptgetlife @plex Plex does not decide which ads are shown. It sends a request to the ad network, gets an ad, plays it and the reports back to network (that the ad was played). Also @plex doesn’t seem like an official account.
What platform? I haven’t had this issue on Roku TV/Express. I don’t often use free with ads on Plex on my PC, mostly only random shows TV.
