Subtitles

Feature Suggestions

I searched before posting this but couldn’t find anything.

Automatic subtitle support built in. By that I mean if you’re watching a film and turn on the subtitles the player sources them and shows them. I remember this on the xbmc and found it very useful.

Thanks.

I know you can set the opensubtitles.org agent to automatically download subtitles (up to 3 languages). I don’t think Plex has the capability for on the fly subtitles. If you want to use the agent you would need to force refresh your library, keeping in mind that opensubtitles has a limit to how many subtitles you can download per day.

Once you have the subtitles downloaded you can turn them on or off on the fly though.

Yeah, I know that is one way of doing it. I am suggesting on the fly.
