Im not sure if this is the correct category, if its wrong im sorry.  
Anyways on to the question, what has happened to the subtitles in the recent app update? -

If i watch on my pc subtitles are added just fine,  
If i watch directly on my mobile the subtitles render just fine…  
If i cast from my android phone to my chromecast I get this hideous big black box with white subtitles, changing my settings under settings → subtitles in the app makes absolutely no difference, as if the options are entirely disregarded.

Is it just broken now or is there a way to fix it?
