Secondary subtitle not working on my Samsung TV

[Xcellion]

Hello,

I installed the official Jellyfin app using the docker method (https://github.com/Georift/install-jellyfin-tizen)

And I am able to stream movies perfectly. However, I noticed that the secondary subtitle function doesn't work. The option to select a secondary sub is there, but only one language ever appears.

When I select a second language, it just overwrites the main language.

Can anyone help?

Tizen app uses HTMLVideoElement. On Tizen 5 (tested with emulator) it doesn't seem to support simultaneous display of multiple text tracks. It disables the currently displayed track when enabling another one.
It does work on Tizen 3 (tested with emulator) and Tizen 4 (tested on real TV).

One option is to use a custom element for subtitles, as on webOS. It may also be configurable: jellyfin/jellyfin-web#5737

Is this something I can enable? How do I configure it?

At the moment, only edit mentioned code as:

        if (browser.tizenVersion >= 5 || browser.web0s) {
            return true;
        }

and rebuild the app.

I just did that and rebuilt the app, but it doesn't seem to be working unfortunately. I checked and my TV is running Tizen 6. Not sure if that makes any difference.

I also added a line above return true; to alert("test message") and have confirmed that i built the app correctly and have pushed it to my TV

Nevermind I spoke too soon. I apparently edited the wrong line in the code. I edited the line you suggested and it works now:

if (browser.tizenVersion >= 5 || browser.web0s) <- this line

Thank you so much!!
