The subtitles the server fetches from [opensubtitles.org](http://opensubtitles.org) have been great for most of my movies/tv shows, but there are a few that appear to be offset by about a second or two. Sometimes I am in environments where it’s hard to hear so I often use subtitles, and it is distracting to read subtitles that aren’t in sync with the movie/show. My suggestion is to add a subtitles offset slider in the settings of the client side with offset from about -3s to 3s. So when I come across a movie/show in which the subtitles are off sync, I can go to the settings of that video and slide it up or down. This could also be added to the server side, but I think it would be better implemented as a client setting. Hopefully people are still active on these forums so maybe this can get some upvotes. Awesome job so far Plex Team! Love everything so far! ---

I successfully setup the Sub-Zero SubTitles plugin to download subtitles from OpenSubtitles as well as Addic7ed. I’ve also checked the option for “Automatically extract and use embeded subtitles upon media addition…” Upon seeing a \*.srt file drop into a movie’s folder, I then played that movie, and the text is 52 seconds behind the movie… Definitely need a way to manually sync the subtitles ---

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@Implemented - Subtitle synchronization](https://forums.plex.tv/t/subtitle-synchronization/312623/1): > > Please include a feature that allows us to time-shift subtitles back and forth (ms/secs), for subtitles which are out of sync, or sometimes become out of sync during playback. Agreed it is better to sort it out before starting playback, but that is not always possible, and with the new great adhoc subtitle feature, this would be very much appreciated. Plex must be the only player out there that doesn’t support this slight_smile Therefore this one is closed. Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it. * * * Please **search** before creating a new suggestion thread. Only one feature per thread.
