Exoplayer has some basic support for ASS subs.
Other media players (such as VLC, MPV, MPC) have much better ASS sub support.
From the current Jellyfin provided clients:
- For desktop clients, the ones that support ASS subs the best will be "Jellyfin Media Player" and "MPV Shim". Both of these play ASS subs fine (for the most part) since both use MPV as the player.
- For mobile clients, the Android Jellyfin app lets you open videos with 3rd party media players installed on the phone. Just install MPV player, VLC, MX Player, or another capable player, then change the settings in the Jellyfin app to open videos with them. You can tell Jellyfin to use exoplayer, but it only has basic ASS sub support right now.
- For (Android) TV clients, go into the settings and use the "LibVLC" player which handles ASS subs. You can also use exoplayer, but again, it will have basic ASS support only.
