Movie streaming in Plex Web with subs WITHOUT transcoding.

Hi,

 

I am new to Plex, but i already really like it.

I have Plex Media Server running on my Synology DS215j NAS.
Streaming movies from it using the Plex Web App works perfectly fine.

However, when i enable subtitles, the buffering becomes very very slow, and after a couple of minutes the video will stop playing and the message "This server is not powerfull enough to convert video" appears on my screen.

I know this is because the server  has to transcode the video to burn in the subtitles (which requires a lot of CPU power), but isn't there a function to just stream the video from the Media Server and add the subtitles locally (on the pc which i am using the Web App from)

Thanks in advance!
