It's official: Plex have so enshittified their web player that there is now no way to turn on subtitles.

So all the foreign language films I had bookmarked on Plex, I guess I'll be watching somewhere else. Great job!

#NowWatching Tai Chi Master (1993) on Fawesome instead

EDIT: looks like it may be just that film; e.g. Throne of Blood does have subs

Looks like it's just that film so far. Watched Throne of Blood yesterday and subs *are* available for that, but still not for Tai Chi Master.

They were a bit delayed but the FastStream browser extension recommended by @asj fixed that

@klu9 @asj (sorry, I can’t access original post) have you downloaded subs online to add manually? Plex is finicky with subs sometimes!Opensubtitles.org is a swell place

FastStream has OpenSubtitles search built-in. I tried several with Plex Tai Chi Master but they were all off.

Now I know how to adjust their timing in FastStream, I'll try again if I find another film without subs, or with bad subs (the subs for Ossessione 1943 on Plex are terrible in BOTH English & Italian)
