Hello friends,
I've been using Jellyfin Android TV on my Tivo Stream 4k and was wondering what are some people's workarounds to play files with PGS Subtitles in Direct Play? Right now, I am using MPV as an external player but it's kinda janky, meaning that my parents will have a hard time using that method.
For example on MPV,
- There is no resume timestamp on Jellyfin itself, so if I watch something halfway and switch to a different device (e.g. phone) I will not be able to pick up where I left off.
- When I press back while media is playing, it will open up the media in MPV again instead of going back to Jellyfin. If I press back again here, it will restart Jellyfin so I have to search for the media again. It is even worse when playing TV Shows as now sometimes pressing back takes me to the next episode (sometimes it just keeps going to the next episode in a seemingly random number of times)
Fortunately, most of the files with PGS are Anime. These problems are either the same or worse with VLC. I hope that this is enough information for people to understand the issue I am facing. If not, please ask me for more.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
