Try to change “Position (external only)” option in settings…
By the way … unfortunately there is no way to change such settings while playing media file … at least for the moment)
I believe this setting is where the subtitles are positioned on the screen? That’s what is sounds like. I meant a function to manually sync the timing of the subtitles, since external subs are sometimes out of sync This works perfectly in PMP or OpenPHT. I understand it’s more difficult to implement, but would be a great feature for me
Is this something that will be added? I also would like this feature to be added. To manual adjust the subtitles!

Only for external subtitles in direct play mode. LG does not have such thing for embedded subs only show or hide embedded subs
and not sure if it possible to do that in transcoding mode … but probably YES for transcoding mode

Well embedded subtitles are almost always the correct ones, so it is more about the external subs anyway. Would be great if this feature could be added for direct play mode!

I don’t really understand what you are saying? I use .SRT files for subtitles, so that are external subs. Yet, I am unble to sync the sub in Xplay. My TV does all the transcoding, plex media server just stream the file. Can you not add a new feature to Xplay that lets you change the milliseconds of the subs? My old mediaplayer AC-Ryan had this feature years ago.

My car can run faster than 250 km/h does it means that my neighbor’s car can do the same?

I would love to have this feature too. Hope we could have it soon. Thanks
I think I´m having trouble with the newest Plex Server for Linux update in cooperation with Xplay… Since upgrading my raspi to Version 1.5.5.3634, I´m not able to play or transcode secondary audio tracks on my LG WebOS 1.4 TV… love to watch TV series in english and in the past I had no problems transcoding the english audio track on… last night… no luck. First audio stream works, when I switch to english track all I get in Xplay is the rotating circle… no go.
Downgrading to previous Plex server version to verify that it´s related to the Server… Damn…

For the moment Ive changed external subs display function … External subs now are displaying using system player functionality instead of using custom function. It will reduce a bit time delay for about ~50-100 ms
I’ll think how can I add manual correction of subtitles time offset

Ill try to update my PMS this weekend and check what they have changed
Speaking of subtitles, if I play internal subtitles they will be displayed through the internal player I think? But the font-size is really big and I can’t adjust this, I think the subtitle settings are only applied to the external subtitles. If I use the build-in USB/DLNA player I can adjust this there but XPlay doesn’t use these default settings.
Hi, I am sure this has been asked before but is there any plans for Channel support? Would love to use Xplay but I need to access channels, the official Plex LG app is not the best at handling live streams so was hoping this might be an alternative rather than having to buy several (for family members) Fire TV sticks or Raspberry Pi’s! Thanks

Not in the current version. I dont see possibility to add extra UI elements in the current UI design.
Anyway for the moment I dont know how to work with PMS channels … it would take time to understand PMS API for channels functionality.
But there are some notes from LG =) They dont actually support multicast streams … only unicast. It means for eg that multicast IP TV does not work on LG TV. For eg I do use multicast to unicast IPTV proxy to have ability watch it on LG TV

I can adjust font style for external subs even if I use system video player to display they. I was not able to do the same for embedded. As I can understand it has to layers of subs support 1) its HTML5 standard support 2) its LG functionality for embedded subs. And they are not equal and its not the best idea to compare their functionality.
If I use the build-in USB/DLNA player I can adjust this there but XPlay doesn’t use these default settings.
As I mentioned above its not the best idea to compare their functionality. I even had problems with LG when tried to speak with LG team about embedded subs functionality. They were a bit angry about that. Especially is that I asked about it on public developers forum. After my post they even removed information about subtitles API from LG docs and removed the app from LG Apps Store. And after a short squabble they have restored the app and subtitles API information. As you can see its a bit painful topic for me and LG)))

Thanks for the info.
So the Channel I use does play on the LG app, but randomly stops/pauses, and you have to come out and go back into the channel to start the stream again, so I presume I am using unicast? Which app do you use on the LG Tv for your streams?
@dink said:

For IP TV I use “Smart IPTV” … its not an advertise =))) just my choose … but as I told I convert multicast proxy which it converts to unicast version. What about iptv proxy its a modified version of ACrypt … which support “encrypted” (or something like that, standard version did not work for me) streams

So 149 pages to go through, not sure Im goign to do that, but I guess this is the app that is probably a must have for my new LG 4k tv?
I tried the built in plex app, but it transcodes all 4k media (including local content… like wtf?), but this one plays its natively, and runs great.
So if I unlock the demo that gives all future updates as well I assume?
Unlock just remove playback limit after demo expired. And all new updates are free

oke, but you skipped the part about a possible feature release for manually syncing subtitles. Makes sense to add this option to app like your Xplay. The site said to add for request to improve the app. This request is coming from lots of people who bought your app. No need to get offended like that, just saying this feature is a coming thing. Anyways, we would find it really great if the cool Xplay app could get a subtitle sync option in the near future. Thanks in advance for all your effort, if you do decide to add this.

Any ideas how it can looks like in current UI? it also must not contain any text … as I can not add translation without pushing it to LG QA
This works perfectly in PMP or OpenPHT. I understand it’s more difficult to implement, but would be a great feature for me
