I'm not a fan of the turns Open Subtitles has made toward monetisation, ad injection etc. — particularly not considering the unpaid volunteer work that has gone into their offerings. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was their "AI" subtitles, though.

I don't know if they sincerely think what they're doing is related to AI, the results I've had the misfortune of downloading was subpar speech-to-text gibberish. And from what I can tell they're even charging for generating those.

So, as I ask in the title, what alternatives to Open Subtitles are currently available for Kodi? I've used Subscene in the past but the add-on stopped working — or maybe I just need to look into the settings again?

This is a RCA remote I bought from Walmart. It seems to require a proprietary app. Has anyone had any luck with this device or similar devices?

Edit: it doesn't work with Bluetooth so no

Using 18.7 right now on my Nvidia Shield. I have to stay on this version for now.

I have some MKV files that use ~~OPUS audio tracks~~ AV1 Encoding, and KODI plays them as music files with no video. The files play without problems with VLC for Android.

Has anyone seen this before? Was ~~OPUS~~ AV1 support so new in Leia that the video player didn't bother with it?

EDIT: The issue was with the AV1 codec, which wasn't added to Kodi until v19.x (software), or really fully-implemented until v20.x

See my comment below for some additional detail

Thank you understanding. Have a nice day

...where would I be without thee?

Been using it since around 2011, back when it was still called XBMC and running on an old laptop.

Installed Raspbmc on a Raspberry pi 1 as soon as it came out. Been using Libreelec for the last few years.

As my media needs have changed over the years, I've been able to use Kodi to meet them in different ways.

This is my appreciation post for Kodi

The best application for watching your media.

I still remember finding out about Kodi and remember thinking it was as amazing as VLC, except with an amazing library.

Since using it over the years, on multiple TVs, a couple raspberry pi via librelec I have since settled on:

Kodi, with Jellyfin add-on, over native paths.
I get the power of Kodi with a centralised metadata service. Finally I can watch something on one tv and have it sync onto all other devices.
