    Jellyfin Version: 10.10.7
    Installation Method: Linux Docker

    No matter what settings I change the SRT subtitles always appear like this:

       

    Tested on Chrome and Edge W11 clients also Edge PWA. The only setting that is working is vertical position. Jellyfin Media Player doesn't have this issue.

    If I had to guess, since this happens across browsers, there is some OS level captioning setting you have enabled that is overriding whatever you set in your browser/Jellyfin.

    Yes, you are right. Just set some weird yellow on blue style under accessibility -> captions on windows settings and after restarting the browser, subtitles reflected that change. How do I make sure the browser's settings are the priority?

    I'm assuming you enabled the captioning settings for a reason. If disabling captioning is not an option for you, I'm not entirely sure how to prefer the browser settings. I don't have a Windows desktop anymore so I can't poke around.

    And Google searches aren't returning any clear answers regarding preferring the browser's caption settings over the OS.

    Yes, I've enabled live captioning feature in the past out of curiosity, but I don't use it anymore. Anyway, thanks for your help at least the "Large text" option makes it readable.
