Multiple issues with Android App (resume, skip to next, subtitle sync) - 2twisty - 2024-05-14
Having trouble with the Android App. Everything works properly in the web interface.
RESUME:
I can't seem to resume from the app. I always go back in and when I click the video (in this case its Avatar the Last Airbender) I can see the line on the bottom of the thumbnail that shows the position in the video that I stopped, but when I tap on it to load, the video starts over from the beginning and I have to scrub to the right position.
SKIP TO NEXT:
When I first installed the app, this worked, and now it doesn't. When I am dome with an episode, clicking the "skip to next" button does nothing. I can see the button change color indicating that the app knows I clicked it, but it has no effect. I have to back out and manually select the next episode/
SUBTITLE SYNC:
Related to the resume issue. Whenever I resume an episode, the subtitles get out of sync, and nothing I do seems to fix it. They start out fine, but if I have to stop watching, upon resuming the episode the subtitles can be out of sync by as much as 15-30 seconds.
DEV REQUEST: Please allow selection of font size (and font itself) for subtitles. They are HUUUUUGE and often cover up significant parts of the video being watched. I like that they are big enough to read, but for those of us that aren't totally blind (yet), it would be nice to be able to make them smaller.
Any ideas? This has frustrated me enough that I'm considering trying Plex even though it would cost me to get the Plex Pass to be able to watch when I am away from home. Yes, I could set up TailScale or some other VPN, but I'd much prefer to have Jellyfin work and save me the annoyance of having to turn on a VPN connection whenever I want to watch something.
Thanks for making a great open-source project -- I just hope some of these issues can be resolved with the Android app.

In the android app are you using the web player or integrated player?

I don't know what player I am using. I just launched the app, navigated to an episode I wanted to watch and pressed the "play"
button.
How can I tell which I am using?
I just figured out how to check. I am using the Web Player.

Switch to the integrated player and try again.

That seems to have worked, resolving all 3 issues at once.
Thanks!
