Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

You might burn subs because not burning them is buggy af. I'm using the native app, I don't ever cast. I have a 60W PSU, and a USB hub with builtin GbE and a fast 64GB thumb drive setup as Android system storage. And again, Kodi has zero trouble whatsoever on this device, even with very demanding workloads (an NFS client on a huge library, and also a TVheadend HTSP client for an ATSC tuner). And I don't ever even play 4k.
I have also had the CCGTV since launch. Plex on it is indeed buggy AF. It's not that the subtitles aren't supported. They display just fine, and then stop mid-play, and the only way to get them back is to kill and restart the app. VOBSUB, SRT, doesn't matter. Whatever Kodi is, it's not an abject steaming pile of shit like the Plex app (that I actually paid for, unlike Kodi).
The Chromecast's internal storage is not enough. I also have termux, RDP client, and a few other apps installed, and it simply cannot handle all of them without external storage.
I have been through the codec game many times, and that part I had mostly gotten under control, except some Matroska files I have would not play unless you clicked on them and immediately seeked at least a few seconds into it; otherwise you'd get an error.
I really don't think you can help me. This is not configuration. It's simply buggy trash, and it's very unfortunate.
let’s keep it civil, guys. personal attacks are not cool.
I'm not dragging anything through the mud. As I've said, I use Plex on web and Android Mobile all the time, and it's great. I just wish there was more QA on Android TV.
