Search subtitles on the fly - JellyStream9839 - 2025-05-04 Hi, I'm trying out Jellyfin, coming from Emby, and I'm looking for a feature that Emby has implemented. In Emby, when a piece of media is playing, you can open the subtitles section and select to "Search for subtitles". This will then bring up a menu where you can select a subtitle and it will be immediately downloaded and start to play with the video. It's actually very similar to how Jellyfin has searching for subtitles outside of when the media is playing Does something like this exist in Jellyfin? If not would the project be interested in it if I were able to implement it myself? Thanks. RE: Search subtitles on the fly - bitmap - 2025-05-06 Have you tried the OpenSubtitles plugin? I seem to recall I was able to search for subtitles on....Roku? However, I don't think that functionality is widely deployed. Subtitles are always an issue, so I don't think a PR would be frowned upon.
