A request I have seen a few times is about sutbtitles. However, it’s been made clear by the development team that it’s not possibe to add subtitle support similar to the one offered by Kodi due to the PMS architecture with the agents.
So here is another feature request that might resolve this issue:
Could you add an option in the clients to send refresh/force refresh command to the PMS for the full library or specific movies/tv shows/episodes/ so that we don’t have to resort to the PMS?
This way, we can give the command from the PMP/PHT/client instead of having to turn off the app and go back to the server, which most of the times is installed in another machine and most probably in another room. This can help enormously with the subtitles issue, because if a users finds, let’s say, an episode that has no subtitles, he/she can ask the server to refresh the metadata directly from within the client, therefore doing a new search for subtitles without having to go back to the server.
This would also be really helpful in cases where the server has failed to update the metadata of a file for whatever reason.
This request is not incompatible with the agents structure of the PMS the way I see it. Thoughts?
