Kodi Doesnt Display Subtitles

[Svagtlys]

Summary

Some episodes of TV shows with external SRT subtitles do not display the subtitles. Turning off cinema mode and restarting Kodi seems to resolve the issue.

This appears to be a very similar issue to Kodi Doesnt Display Subtitles #189
Closed
#, with a similar fix.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Kodi
2. Navigate to a TV show with external SRT subtitles and play an episode
3. One or more episodes will not display subtitles (seems random which ones, but once you find one it won't display the subtitles no matter what until the fix is put in)

I have cinema mode disabled in general, and I also have this issue, seemingly randomly. Some movies, the subtitles work immediately, but I often have to restart the movie to get them to show, or download temporary subtitles through kodi (this is the one area where I really miss using Native Mode, as I could actually save subtitles in the individual movie directories from Kodi without having to stop and restart like when I edit them in Jellyfin.
