It may happen on DSplayer default subtitle filter as well. But since I've been using xyvsfilter for so long so I added that as clarification. DSPlayer loads subtitle filter w. subtitle file on media load. Download subtitle with Kodi subtitle plugin require restart media again. Browse & select subtitle won't make any difference while watching, it works only on DVDPlayer not DSplayer.

But if you have subtitle in place , download / overwrite old subtitle would make immidiate change since subtitle filter already load subtitle file & would recognise changes on the fly.

So you just have to restart video for subtitle to load.
