Hi,
I'm coming from 3-4 years of Emby, and was recommended to try out Jellyfin. Started a couple of hours ago - and first impression is good.
1) Tried to watch my first movie and I noticed that on the main screen on the Android TV, where we press 'Play' there wasn't a Subtitle option to click before the movie starts. Is that normal? Anyhow, when the movie started I could click "Subtitles" on my remote and then pick one of the embedded subtitles from a list. On Emby you can choose subtitles before you Play the movie.
2) All the subtitles I tried to load, created the error "unable to load subtitles". The same movies then worked flawless in Emby.
I Googled this error and discovered this 4-year long discussion of the aforementioned problem: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-and...1121735121
IMHO, if the problem is unsolved for 4 years - one could argue it will never be solved.
So, before I commit further time on this system - any workarounds that one could live with?
Thanks
