Just commenting as I've been looking as well at getting a box to run plex client since my TV can't handle subtitles, and my plex server doesn't allow burning of subtitles. Interested to see if there's some good options.
That was one of my gripes with Plex as I watch a lot of international content. Or just can't hear over the sound of my kids 🤣
Moved to jellyfin backend, with Kodi frontends + official jellyfin addon, all via network shares.
So the Kodi frontends(TVs) directly read the files over NFS/SMB and I don't have to worry about encoding or have to worry about subtitles. Honestly it's the best player I've found (imho of course)
And any other device gets the encoded stream from jellyfin (mobiles/non local devices).
