Hi! I am pretty sure I have seen this already, somewhere, but looking for it I only can find some requests for specific aspects of it.

&nbsp;

I love Plex, I love use it every time and I really love my family... and they are the ones who aren't able to understand any of my content because it is not in their native language xD.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The subtitles plugins already available are really cool, they let you have subtitles without having to look for them but often the subtitles are off... it has happened to all of us. It is usual to get subtitles which are shifted from the time they are supposed to be shown in the video. In the home theatre app there is no issue because you can adjust the subtitles offset in the menu, but it is not the case for the rest of the clients (web,android and Smart TV at least, the ones that I have tested).

&nbsp;

Would it be possible to add this really needed feature as part of all the clients so we can fix the subtitles which are off doesn't matter where we are viewing a given video? What do you think?

&nbsp;

Thanks!

Year 2020. Plex still does not provide this “feature” in the AppleTV. It’s available BUT you have to pay for that (Plex Pass). Really? Is that really a “premium” feature? It’s crazy.

it is a very necessary feature. The subtitle offset setting is on the xbox one app and on the web version but not on my android devices neither on mi box s (android tv) even in the lastest beta versions.

> You can adjust the timing offset for an external text-based subtitle. You can not change the offset of a subtitle...
