I am partially deaf so rely on subtitles. I have a large library of subtitled video files which play back OK on VLC under Linux and Windows, LibreElec on Raspberry Pi, and Kodi 20 sideloaded onto Amazon Fire TV Stick. Itās not the files and itās not a problem with understanding how to turn subtitles on.
