Then you’re using it wrong buddy.
Comment on Poor video playback quality on Kodi
mundane@feddit.nu 6 months agoI’m also tired of Kodi but I constantly come back to it. The one thing that Kodi does better than all the rest is the handling of subtitles. I try to use Jellyfin instead but I constantly have to switch back to Kodi because there are no ways (from within the app) to find and download new subtitles.

Is using the Android TV app considered “using it wrong”? Because that doesn’t support downloading subtitles.

I am switching codec between Libvlc and exoplayer. Sometimes one doesn’t work, while the other works. It’s still better to me than Kodi.

How does switching the codec help with downloading subtitles from the web?

Probably I misunderstood your issue. I am using Bazarr for downloading subtitles.

You can definitely search and download subtitles using both jellyfin app and webapp. I do this all the times.

But not on the Android TV app.
But thanks anyway, I actually didn’t know that downloading subtitles was supported on other platforms. This should att least alla me to download subtitles via the phone. A bit more cumbersome than having it directly in the app as for Kodi.

I don’t have Android TV so I didn’t know that. Since that’s a feature available in every jellyfin app I own (android, osx, windows, Linux, web) I assumed it was available everywhere.

if you are using sonarr and radarr and don’t know about bazarr, check it out. it’s a companion app for searching and downloading subtitles for your media

You can from e.g. the Android app or from the desktop app Jellyfin Media Player, but you can’t from the AndroidTV app or the Roku app, so it really depends.
