    For some content DirectPlay is just not possible, as much as I’d love it to be.

    More complex stylized subtitles will absolutely trash almost any Android device unless transcoded.

      What kind of stylized subtitles? I do not have a big library so I have never encountered this kind of trouble. But I’m curious to know to circumvent in advance.

      Most anime have .ASS subtitles and are kinda complex sometimes with singsong related subtitles, but never had any issues on android with them.

      And most movies have simple plain text subtitles.

        That’s exactly what I meant. Most simple subtitles will be fine.

        This example is still relatively simple, but it should give you an idea: https://streamable.com/nj8fey
        Good fansubs can sometimes do really crazy things, including replacing entire moving backgrounds.
