opensubtitles and tv shows - kexxx101 - 2025-11-20

Hi all,
I recently started using Jellyfin and I am working on setting it up.

Most of the functionality I want works.
There is one persistent issue though, it is opensubtitles.

I am trying to find subtitles for tv shows.
I have the plugin installed, I have logged in and when I search from Jellyfin it is not finding the correct subtitles and I can't (or maybe don't know how to) change the title it searches for.
I changed the meta data of the media (just as a test, don't want to do it on all files though)
But it keeps deleting the title and keeps searching for episode titles, but even that goes wrong.

When I search on opensubtitles itself I can find the correct subtitles manually.

Right now I have resorted to downloading and adding them to Jellyfin, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the plugin doesn't it?

Can someone point me in the right direction?
