Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349 Player Version#: 9.28.0.3162 After some of the last versions of Plex for Android TV, there’s been having a problem with SRT subtitles. The player won’t obey the styling from the SRT subtitles and will display just the plain subtitles without it. Subtitles lines with t…

Hi Loco_Pro, based on this 10.0.1 goes stable so if you don’t trust beta and you can wait (now to 3 days) you should have it. [image] Plex for Android Announcements Plex for Android 10.1.0 Available on Google Play and the Amazon App Store . NOTE: We are performing a sta…

SRT subtitles do not officially support positional formatting tags. I know how some people feel about Wikipedia, but I couldn’t find additional sources that talked about this as most results came from forums of some sort. SubRip SubRip is a free software program for Microsoft Windows wh…

Yep, I tried new v10.1.0 yesterday. Styling is working again, thanks!
