Streaming media company Plex raises new funds as it nears profitability - eviltoast

I hope this doesn’t mean they are on the slippery slope of selling user data, thoughts?

    I use bazarr to automatically grab subtitles in .srt because VOBSUB cannot be trusted.

    That pretty much solves any subtitle related issues.

      What’s not to trust with VobSub? They are always in sync, unlike a lot of Bazarr fetched subtitles. Of course, only play VobSub on devices that can direct play them.

        The main problem for me is their poor device support but VOBSUB has other problems like poor text scaling and ugly text. I think the last two problems are because VOBSUB is raster based instead of text based.

        Bazarr subs can have problems but those are mostly mitigated by automatically time shifting all but the very perfect sub matches. Adding more tags to files from radarr/sonarr probably helps with matching as well.
