Rated 3 out of 5
by Illiou, 7 years agoThis add-on seems to be a really good effort. Unfortunately there are a few issues:
1. Most importantly, every time you pause or jump to a different timestamp it takes 5-10 seconds until it displays subtitles again, which is quite a dealbreaker for me.
2. The options menu doesn't stay visible (using Amazon Prime), even with the mouse cursor hovering over it. And somewhat funnily it will only show up again if the cursor leaves it.
3. A significant amount of time when looking for subtitles with the built-in search it will just show an error after loading for a while. I realize that this is possibly due to the external provider, but even then the error handling is suboptimal, since it throws you back to the main menu afterwards, meaning the whole process of searching and choosing a subtitle has to be done over and over again until it works.
Additionally, as I just noticed the timing seems to be off from the file. In my example the first line in the srt file starts at 00:00:19 seconds but after loading it into the add-on it shows the first line at about 00:00:09. Synchronization option is set to 0.
Also, having the option to add outlines and/or shadows to the subtitle display would be beneficial for visibility.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13540295, 2 months agoOnly just installed this earlier today and it did the job I was looking for. You can change the size of the subtitles, colors, background, and delay. Searching also worked just fine. So far there's only one thing this isn't capable of and I wish it was and that's showing subs on picture-in-picture windows.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ie, 4 months agoIt really just works. A must have for foreign language learners! Would be wonderful though if the developer considers 1) enable the displaying of two subtitles at once, and 2) display the precise timestamp from the start -- to make syncing easier. Anyway, great job and many thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by LucysFur, 8 months agoThis application is extremely useful. Worked instantly and allowed me to watch a Hindu movie that didn't have English subtitles available.
5/5 stars. Would recommend. I don't know that I'll need it again any time soon; but it fills such a niche need that I'd recommend it to anyone. - Rated 5 out of 5by Homar H, 10 months agoThis add-on was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
There's one detail I noticed while using it: while the video can play perfectly fine and the subtitles are synced and visible, the progress bar doesn't seem to be advancing at all, it gets stuck in the beginning.
