Is it really that complicated to release a new apk file for android tv with the correct font for subtitles?

Hi.  Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares?

The standard app for android my Tv won't install. It tells me that it is not compatible with the device and the file could not be installed.
Please, just replace the font for subtitles in the android TV app like you did in other apps and it will work like in other apps.
It's a pity that just because of such a small thing, I can't watch the video with ass subtitles, which contain different overlaps and different subtitle positions that srt can't handle.
I'd like to fix the app myself if I knew how, but if I change the font for the subtitles, the app won't install on my TV.

It is enough if you edit the beta app, you don't need to edit the official app in google play.
I use the beta server and beta app for android tv anyway.

So after a long time I came back to the Plex again. I'm not happy about it, but at least the subtitles work properly.

@cremo are you able to try sideloading it over the network or USB?

As I wrote above, the app can't be installed on Google TV. It's not even available in the Play Store, and it can't be installed via USB or network. This problem has been solved here for a year and a half, it is known to be a problem with the font. It's finally started to be fixed everywhere except for the Google TV app. I really don't have the patience for it anymore, so I finally decided on a solution that works for me.

Now whatever changes you have made here likely have broken Korean support.  I am sure you are aware of this problem as others have posted that the bug started with the version 82.  Android TV app doesn't suffer from broken Korean support yet.

Hi, yes we are aware and are looking into it. Thanks.

Seems to contain Czech and Slovak characters (tested it in few apps and all characters were rendered using that font with no need for a fallback).

 

Just in case, here are Czech characters:

A, Á, B, C, Č, D, Ď, E, É, Ě, F, G, H, Ch, I, Í, J, K, L, M, N, Ň, O, Ó, P, Q, R, Ř, S, Š, T, Ť, U, Ú, Ů, V, W, X, Y, Ý, Z, Ž
a, á, b, c, č, d, ď, e, é, ě, f, g, h, ch, i, í, j, k, l, m, n, ň, o, ó, p, q, r, ř, s, š, t, ť, u, ú, ů, v, w, x, y, ý, z, ž

 

And here are Slovak characters:

A, Á, Ä, B, C, Č, D, Ď, DZ, DŽ, E, É, F, G, H, CH, I, Í, J, K, L, Ĺ, Ľ, M, N, Ň, O, Ó, Ô, P, Q, R, Ŕ, S, Š, T, Ť, U, Ú, V, W, X, Y, Ý, Z, Ž
a, á, ä, b, c, č, d, ď, dz, dž, e, é, f, g, h, ch, i, í, j, k, l, ĺ, ľ, m, n, ň, o, ó, ô, p, q, r, ŕ, s, š, t, ť, u, ú, v, w, x, y, ý, z, ž

Having an issue with subtitle music symbols in the Emby Android app on my S20+ (they show up as portrait-oriented rectangles).  The subtitle music symbols show up just fine on my Nvidia Shield.  I am using embedded SRT subtitles with UTF-8 encoding.

Below is how the music symbols appear in subtitle edit with UTF-8 encoding present.

I tried playing the same video on my wife's iPhone, for comparison,  but turns out any video with embedded subtitles (most of my videos) immediately stop playing upon trying to start them. Guess that's a topic for another thread though...

Hi, yes we had to remove some symbols from the font in order to make room for Korean characters. Of course we'll continue to look at improving it. Thanks.

Roger that and thanks for the quick response.
