Netflix doesn’t use Roku’s system level language / subtitle settings so I assume there’s a way around it for other apps as well.

Patches@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoRoku controls Subtitles/Language as a system level which means Crunchyroll can’t fix it.
Roku refuses to budge that subtitles must match language spoken.
Crunchyroll is “fixing” the issue by creating duplicate seasons - one for each language - but that is a very slow process and it only fixes the dub

Yeah, there's definitely foreign language English subtitled content on Netflix that can be watched on Roku. I don't think apps are required to use the Roku system subtitles. I'm more inclined to think Crunchyroll just isn't supporting their Roku app properly.

what? i can’t speak specifically to crunchyroll (not willing to pay for it), but i watch a lot of movies in languages other than english with english subtitles on roku.
if roku is insisting on this (?), they aren’t insisting on it for other services like hbo.

Once again I’m reminded that piracy offers a better user experience than the paid options.

It does. But it’s difficult to obtain 1000+ episodes of One Piece.

It’s actually really easy.
