I was a regular Plex user, until they had their mental breakdown recently. So I switched to jellyfin. I have only two problems with jellyfin so far. One of them is subtitles (the other is the “remote controller” doesn’t always sync properly).
Plex had an integrated subtitle downloader. You could just start a show, see that it was lacking subtitles and Plex could isntantly download subtitles for you. That doesn’t seem to work in Jellyfin.
Is there an option or a plugin somewhere that can do/fix this for jellyfin?
Not a huge fan of correlating mental health and capitalist greed, personally.
Not sure if this gonna help but I read some user use kodi + jellyfin addon mainly for the transcode thing but also you can get subtitles easily with the a4ksubtitle addon or something similar. Hope this helps
Bazarr is OK, but getting subtitles that are actually synced(and stay synced) to your particular video can be a pain.
I try to just grab things with subs already included.
I’ve never downloaded a subtitle file since I started using it last year and all the videos I watch have subtitles 😅 I just thought that happened automatically 🙈
It doesn’t happen automatically, you’ve just gotten lucky with your files. Subtitles can be embedded in the video file.
