Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

I'm not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don't show up despite being selected. I guess I'm really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.

    That's odd because the clients are just web apps I think. That should work without crashing on a stable OS. I use them on Android mobile and Android TV with extensive subtitle usage and haven't seen instability.

    A funny thing I noticed is that the client distributed in F-Droid is extremely old even though it says it's updated recently.

    I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it's better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don't see the full picture.
