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.

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.
Anyway, I’ve tried a lot of different players and they all struggle.
On the phone it’s almost fine, but any Android TV Box just gets killed with a sufficiently complex scene.
I have no idea what streamlabs or Android TV boxes uses as backend player, but after a lot of debugging MPV solved all my subtitles issues on mobile (android) and desktop (Linux).
It made me kinda sad because VLC was the defacto application I installed on Windows for years !! But since I’m on Linux, MPV is the new standard in my default applications.
Maybe have a look if you can change the default player?

And most movies have simple plain text subtitles.

Haha I’m to late :( Not available anymore. You sure it isn’t about the external player used by jellyfin on mobile?
Cauz’ I remember I had issues with
.ASSsubtitles only on mobile when VLC was used as external player.Damn, I didn’t know streamable is so crappy now…
