The only issue I have is the fact that when playing the movies on my device, then there's a lack of functionality to find and read external subtitles which I actually have available in my library collection stored in my hard drives. Your app could read and play internally embedded subtitles available in the media files with no problem, but could not detect available external subtitles. For non-English speakers like me, the functionality to read and play external subtitles is very important. If you play the movies to the TV rather than on the device, then all subtitles, both internal and external, can be detected and selected.
Previously you explained that this functionality was not supported by the kodi library program, but I just found out that if you use the Android version of Kodi 17 on your Android tablet and have it network connected to your Kodi 17 on an Android box media player via UpNp (you need to select "read external subtitles" on the media player), then you can actually watch the movies on your Android tablet with the ability to read and play external subtitles with no problem at all. Too bad there's no official Kodi 17 app on Apple Appstore, hence I have to rely on Kyra 2 to have the same functionality.
Could you please have another look at the possibility of adding this functionality to Kyra 2? I really love your app and it would be 100% perfect if you add this functionality for us who really need to use external subtitles while streaming the files to our device. Thanks a lot, Richard.
The library I am using to play the media files is not supporting external subtitles.
And there's an official app for Kodi.
OK Richard. Thanks for your response.
Please would you keep looking into this as I really prefer using your apps for its better responsiveness syncing with the Kodi library. Not to compare yours with other apps, but nPlayer and Infuse (both are available in AppStore as well) can play external subtitles when streaming the movie to an apple device. They can even download external subtitles directly from OpenSubtitles. But to be honest, I prefer Kyra 2 for my extensive library which requires much faster syncing speed and minimum adjustment to what are already on kodi with no need to tweak the metadata. As I said, Kyra 2 would be 100% perfect once you add this functionality.
Thanks again for a great app.
