So I’ve been looking for a way to download subtitles in Plex for movies/shows that don’t have subtitles yet. I’ve read page after pages about all sorts of plugins, then I found an article that says that plugins like that no longer work, etc.

I think it’s rather a lot of money to pay for a pass just to be able to look for subtitles since these subtitles are free.

Can someone help me with this?

Here’s a couple of Support Articles that might help:

[https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/using-subtitles/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/using-subtitles/)

This one specifically talks about using the built-in subtitle search:

> **[On-Demand Subtitle Search | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/subtitle-search/)**
>
> Plex supports the ability to search for (and use) subtitles from either the pre-play screen or during playback, for items...

Hope this helps.

I did that. Enabled Opensubtitles and filled in my account information and renewed all the metadata from my movies and shows. I do not get the option to download subs.

Well I can enable subtitles but then they are used through the whole movie instead of only where they are needed

Well, I’ve been trying for days but I just don’t get the more subtitles option. I’ve set up the opensubtitles agent corrently, refreshed metadata, but nothing…

On-demand subtitles are a Plex pass feature.

Yeah, I’m not going to pay 5 euro’s a month just for subtitles which are pretty much always free. I’d be better off moving to Kodi then, which have plenty of plugins for that.

Hi I have a further question regarding On-demand subtitles. If I have a plex-pass and have on-demand subtitles, does it mean that all users of my server, also then gain access to on-demand subtitles for my media, or will they also require a plex-pass to be able to use that function for my content?

They should be all able to search and use them.
