Subtitle Limit Android TV - Andokai - 2024-12-27
Hello All,
While using Android TV .18 (Which has generally worked wonderfully and fixed all previous issues I had with subtitles! So Props to the devs on this wonderful update!) I ran into some odd behavior. This is when I'm playing an anime in Japanese voice with all subtitles. When intensive subtitles, Such as stat screens and the like, are displayed, they are there for 1 moment and then blip out of existence. More critically, no dialogue subtitles appear at that time. I saw this while watching "Reincarnated as a Sword" on my tv running 0.18.2. To check to see if it was an issue with how the subtitles were encoded on the disc itself, I sanity checked it with the app on my M2 Macbook air. All subtitles appear when called for, including the dialogue ones on these more intense moments. Is this just a limitation of the Android TV client? or have I inappropriately set something up? (I have not changed any subtitle settings on the TV app as they are all embedded subs that I got from the discs, and previously havent been effected by these settings)
Thank you so much for all the work you do and help on this project.

Is it direct playing on both the Android TV and Mac?
RE: Subtitle Limit Android TV - Andokai - 2024-12-31
Yes, Direct on both. Apologies for the delay.
RE: Subtitle Limit Android TV - TheDreadPirate - 2024-12-31
Are these ASS subtitles or PGS subs? If it is direct playing, I am assuming they are NOT ASS subs.
RE: Subtitle Limit Android TV - Andokai - 2025-01-01
No theyre PGS, which is making me think that by having the overlay for the stat screen it just misaligned the audio ones out of frame for the tv, but im surprised it isnt happening on mac too.

If it is direct playing, each device is responsible for rendering the subs. So different clients will behave differently. The issue you've described I've only seen with ASS subs on Android (not TV) and in browsers.
Actually. This appears to be a known limitation of exoplayer (the underlying player in Android).

If thats the issue, Awesome! I was thinking that anyway, and its not too big of a deal, I just mainly wanted to confirm is that itself was the problem. Thanks!
