The android application has multiple “players” available to it.
- Web player
- Integrated player
- External player
Sounds like you want to be using the integrated player so that you can direct play on your device?
Who invited this guy
Turns out it’s the subtitles. As I watch a lot of anime it’s either good subtitles and transcode, or bad subtitles and direct. As the extra styling is not covered by the application
It’s true I could change it to external player but then you lose half the features…
For instances like this, you could either use the Jellyfin plugin that extracts embedded subtitles, such that they are stored in an .art file and don’t need transcoding, or set up Bazarr for the same (amomg handing all your subtitle needs).
I found that I preferred Bazarr, especially with notifications through Gotify, as I would directly see what took place when a subtitle was pulled, where as the Jellyfin plugin felt a bit like a black box.
. . . Omg I hope that’s not it… I’ll feel like a fool if that’s the case!
You can start by opening the bag where you store the dunce hat. 🤣
Turns out it’s ASS. It forces transcoding.
That will get fixed eventually, it took plex years to get ASS support working properly, its a complex format to render client side, particularly when its doing the fancy moving overlay stuff to pull of tricks like replacing text on a poster or sign and such. Its one of the few things still holding me from totally switching over to Jellyfin.
Ugh yeah, I ran into that previously. In fact a post on that is still on the jellyfin subreddit from some time ago. It was real annoying to figure out.
Time to contribute to the docs
