Audio and subtitles

What you see	Why, and what to do
The audio menu names your language, but you hear another	Some files need the audio reloaded for a switch to take effect. Set Switching to it to Safe (Settings › Playback › Audio).
A switch didn't happen	Choose the ticked track again in the audio menu: it's applied again.
The 2017 TV freezes after switching audio and jumping	Its player can crash on a jump made right after another. Safe, waits 10 seconds is what it needed.
Subtitles are early or late	Timing in the subtitle menu (or keys 1–3), or Sync by ear. A file made for another release can be seconds off.
A built-in subtitle can't be made earlier	The TV's player hands each line over at its time, so StremioK can hold it back but not show it sooner.
A built-in subtitle is selected but shows nothing at the start	The TV sometimes takes the first pick without showing lines; StremioK picks it again after a few seconds of playback.
Ad lines in subtitles ("Advertise your product…")	Skip lines with (Settings › Playback › Subtitles): OPENSUBTITLES, .SRT.
A subtitle file on the USB drive shows Unknown language	Its name has no language StremioK knows (a tag like -ESP isn't guessed). It's still listed; rename it (….es.srt) and index the drive again to have it in its language.
.gz subtitles don't load	Gzipped subtitle files aren't decoded.
