Lol at people down voting without a clue.

Anyway, that issue is 1 year old, and subtitles for some reason just keep getting worse with each update. It is not being taken seriously.

It is so easy to reproduce that there must be something more involved to it, explaining why some people dont have the issue.

I tested and validated with these clients: web, roku, android, android-tv, fire and LG

All have the same issue. So maybe some combination of factors with server.

The bugs are different depending on the media, sometimes delayed subtitles and most of times no subtitles at all. Also, trying to switch subtitles to other languages sometimes just dont take effect unless the playback is restarted. Anyway, it is baraly usable.

I really like Jellyfin and push for it, but since last release, it became barely usable. Unfortunately, it made me and all my users switch to Plex again. Where they preferred to buy the respective Plex clients instead of dealing with Jellyfin issues. It is sad, it could be money donated to Jellyfin at some time.

Seriously, if Jellyfin doesn’t fix all subtitles issues with their clients, it will be really hard to be taken as a serious competitor in the area. I hope they take this issue seriously and fix it asap before further damage to the project happens.

First, good job. Looks very good and feels snappy. So high potential player in the ecosystem. So here a quick feedback after a few minutes using this:

1. when exiting the “home screen” that contains some albums, trying to get back to the same screen with same content is impossible. Getting back to “albums” screen has different content, alphabetically sorted.

2. I’ve been looking for a player with proper “preferred” management and features. This app let’s us mark an album as preferred (heart), but not sure what it does here. But what I really miss in a player, is a way to mark preferred individual tracks and then to see all these tracks and be able to use that as a giant playlist that we can play in sequence or randomly. Please consider this feature and your app will be already more featured packed and useful than any other jellyfin player out there.

mine was really sluggish for a long time, then I saw someone in here explaining their similar issue and their fix. I don’t have the post link, but it was related to DNS settings. Basically for some reason using my pihole dns made only nextcloud sluggish, the fix suggestion was to use 1.1.1.1, which worked. Now, it is a pretty fast nextcloud.
