Does Serviio Support PGS Subtitles?

I was wondering if Serviio supports PGS and if so how can I get this to work with Sony BD Players (2010-2013 profiles)?
When I use SRT subtitles Serviio just works as I would expect it, however if they are PGS subtitles they Serviio seems to just ignore them.
If this isn't supported, is this on the roadmap for future support at least?

Not supported as they are image based. Will try to support in future.

I was going to post this as a new query but it seems best to follow up this response instead...
I'm using Serviio 1.4 installed on a Synology DS413j streaming to an Oppo BDP103 (set to Generic profile). I have all options ticked on the subtitles delivery settings page.
No issues, other than with subtitles :-
I have only MKV & M2TS files - in both cases the files have subtitles embedded within them as PGS type (according to mediainfo).
The ones in the M2TS files are displaying just fine!
The MKV ones are detected by the player (i.e. on the Oppo I can select from the subtitle tracks within the file) but they are never shown.
So if PGS isn't supported at all then why are the ones in M2TS files working just fine ? (and how does the player 'know' that they're in the MKV files even if it cannot show them).
Many thanks,
Ian

Serviio ignores them (ie doesn't see them). The fact that the player can see them, and play them, from non-transcodes file is thanks to the player's software.
