the problem is from MI stick that is used only through internal network and has no internet connection to send report 

can this be done from the emby server PC ?

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.

tried to download emby only but loading very slowly and not playing videos.

but i got a work around . i have to play the video and select the subtitle and then go back and select again subtitle and start the video and again select the subtitle when the video is playing .

only then subtitle will appear.

This is not the correct application that the Devs were suggesting you try. That particular app is no longer under active development.

Search for "Emb" in the app store (without the 'Y'), you will see two results. Install the other one and see how it compares.
