Current Subtitle customization is pretty basic. Something in Kodi style would be awesome. - Set exact position of subtitles (not only predefinied ones) - Subtitle manual sync (+ - Subtitle time) - Tags support etc. ---

You should already be able to adjust the subtitle offset [https://support.plex.tv/articles/subtitle-offsets/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/subtitle-offsets/) What do you have in mind w/ “Tags support”? Like HTML tags to allow italic/bold subtitles? Mind sharing what “etc’s” you have in mind? ---

I came here looking for suggesting my needs about subtitle customization. I watch a lot of anime and it is really a pain to read current subtitles. Please add the option to make them BOLD. My entire life will change with this. Please. Please. ---

I think the gist of this is asking for more robust options for subtitles in all apps. There is already and existing suggestion for this with more votes. So I am closing this and suggest putting your votes on this other one instead > [@Subtitles settings (font, color, offset time, position)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/subtitles-settings-font-color-offset-time-position/232538/): > > Plex is almost perfect to me except it does not allow user to change subtitles color, font, offset time, etc… like common HD video players else. It’s painful for my myopic eyes to keep watching the thin-white text. Plex did very well the major things such as playback quality, video/audio format, library… but the subtitles is fixed in white (?)… I’m quite shock, especially when I did search “subtitles color” in this forum and found that this issue was mentioned from 2012 but never be solved.
