The negotiation asks for no subtitle stream (DR-176), but when PlaybackInfo answers with a TranscodingUrl we played that URL verbatim — and the server built it from its own subtitle verdict. Jellyfin's StreamInfo.ToUrl appends SubtitleStreamIndex and SubtitleMethod whenever it picked a track, so the burn-in we had just declined came straight back through the URL, turning a remux into a full frame-by-frame re-encode. Live TV never declined it at all: open_live_stream sent no index, so the server applied the channel's default track, and broadcast subtitles are DVB bitmaps that NormalizeSubtitleEmbed converts to burn-in on sight. without_server_chosen_subtitle() drops SubtitleStreamIndex, SubtitleMethod, SubtitleCodec and alwaysBurnInSubtitleWhenTranscoding from any URL the server built — matched case-insensitively, as Jellyfin binds query keys — and re-appends the -1 sentinel, because an absent index is not "none", it is "you choose". Applied at both adoption points, plus the sentinel in the live-stream negotiation body and its fallback URL.

JellyTau
A cross-platform Jellyfin client built with Tauri, SvelteKit, and TypeScript.
Business logic lives in a Rust backend; a UI-rich Svelte frontend handles presentation and talks to it over Tauri's IPC. Targets Linux (libmpv) and Android (ExoPlayer).
