VLC's is broken atleast for me and i would like to know if any of the other video player from fdroid's main repo jad a good subtitle browser/downloader inbuilt . Searching got me nowhere and I'd rather not download try uninstall every video player from fdroid . So if anyone uses any do recommend as there is a fuckton of video players and i really can't download and test each and every one of them .

Maybe not the appropriate sub or c or whatever but i know mx player has one and I'd rather not turn to it (or anything outside fdroid) and i hope this post is alright here if not feel free to reach me about removal or if any mod wants to remove it also feel free . But just incase that i could get some answers don't down vote anyway cheers .

What's broken about VLC? Presumably you've tried deleting app data and reinstalling.

Plex is probably not what you're looking for, but it has a built-in subtitle search.

Long time I haven't used it but nova video player should do it

Nova does support subtitle download through OpenSubtitles, but has not updated to be compatible with their new REST API so that functionality has been broken for a few months.

Kodi has a bunch o add-ons

Stremio with the local files extension? Not exactly a video player, but if you want to watch movies and TV shows, it will get the job done.
