hey
sometimes I need to search for forced/foreign subs, is there a way to explicitly search for them?
Is there a particularly suitable subtitle addon for english or german forced/foreign subs?

Also I'd prefer subs in sub/idx format in general, but I never see them in opensubtitles addon. So maybe you can advice me an addon for them, too.

Best regards

Not to my knowledge. Keep in mind that subtitle services are based on websites, so if the website doesn't offer that functionality (most don't) there is nothing kodi can do.

If you find a website that works as you want, you might ask them or someone with the skills (you?) to do a plugin for it.

About subs format, again I relly on my previous comment. Most sites offer srt files (space efficient, simple to edit). If you find a website focused on sub/idx give it a shot.
