Plex subtitles

Most likely turning on subtitles converts the stream from direct play to transcoding.  From Plex's documentation:

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.

 

I haven't tried personally, but I think the helios64 is too underpowered to be able to transcode full HD video in real time.
