I recently started using Kodi for my linux distro collection, but some videos look terrible in comparison to when played in VLC. See attached picture with screengrabs from VLC and Kodi of the same frame in an MKV 1080p h.265 file. What could be the issue? I didn't change any video settings in either

You can definitely search and download subtitles using both jellyfin app and webapp. I do this all the times.

But not on the Android TV app.

But thanks anyway, I actually didn't know that downloading subtitles was supported on other platforms. This should att least allow me to download subtitles via the phone. A bit more cumbersome than having it directly in the app as for Kodi though.

if you are using sonarr and radarr and don't know about bazarr, check it out. it's a companion app for searching and downloading subtitles for your media

I don't have Android TV so I didn't know that. Since that's a feature available in every jellyfin app I own (android, osx, windows, Linux, web) I assumed it was available everywhere.

jellyfin app

You can from e.g. the Android app or from the desktop app Jellyfin Media Player, but you can't from the AndroidTV app or the Roku app, so it really depends.

Oh I didn't know that! Strange!
