Is there a device that can direct play media with PGS and SRT subtitles on from my plex server?

ImRyan

So I don't have to use handbrake to burn in subs to get direct play.

 

thanks for your help

Subtitles are hit or miss in my experience. They mention on their website

Note: Subtitles can introduce a wrinkle here sometimes. Even if a file’s audio, video, and container are all compatible with a Plex App, if a subtitle stream is selected and is not compatible with the Plex App, then the Server will “burn in” the subtitle text within the video. This requires a full transcode of the video stream.

yet while most of the media indeed triggers a transcode, I have a few that don't for some reason.

 

You could try disabling subtitle burn-in or enabling Direct Stream.
