Hey guys, I was using a webos client until recently and I used to adjust the subtitles when they were slightly out of sync using the settings on the video player. Now I'm using a Android Tv client (new tv) and there is no settings icon to do that or to look at the video properties. On my phone the icon is there and on the web version on my laptop too. Did I mess with some menu settings or something or there is no settings on the Android Tv app?

The TV App recently disabled the (experimental) support for libvlc which had its problems but also had the ability to sync audio and subs. So after this switch, it's no longer possible to sync. I think they are planning to implement a sync feature for the exo player, but unsure when/if that we be the case.

Oh.. It's not always that I need to sync the subtitles because in most cases bazarr gets the best subtitle but eventually even the SRT with the best score still has it a little off sync..It is good to see if the video is being transcoded too. I hope they implement it back soon.. Thanks!

If you connect to Jellyfin through Kodi with the JellyCon add-on, you can sync audio, subtitles etc. when it's playing.

While it's possible to navigate through your Jellyfin libraries from within the Jellycon add-on in Kodi, I usually find it quicker to just use the Jellyfin app or webapp on phone/pc to find the desired media, then "cast" it to the active Kodi client. The Kodi client will then play it directly from the server, no video data is going through the casting device.
