On iPad, when i open a Youtube video with subtitles enabled the subtitles disappear when switching to fullscreen. Is there a get around to regain subtitles in fullscreen? Has a solution been found for this problem?
Same problem here.
Subtitles are very small and cannot increase the size of the subtitles through the Apple TV settings
This makes it near impossible to read the subtitles on a small tv.
While Netflix is the no 1 app we use on the TV box, it makes the Apple TV box almost useless
Please fix this, it is so annoying
20191215 update:
I restored tvOS 13.2 and size of subtitles Netflix are large again ?
I used the explanation from this site -au/articles/360000299936-Downgrade-tvOS-13-to-12-on-Apple-TV-HD-and-4K
and used the "tvOS 13.2 (17K82) for Apple TV 4 (2015)" firmware on ,3
and set autoupdte on "Off"
You are trying to mux subtitles as a subtitle stream. It is easy but different syntax is used for MP4 (or M4V) and MKV. In both cases you must specify video and audio codec, or just copy stream if you just want to add subtitle.
MKV container supports video and audio codecs Virtually anything and also supports subtitles and DVD menus. So you can just copy codecs from input video to output video with MKV container with subtitles. First you should convert SRT to ASS subtitle format
I will provide a simple and general answer that works with any number of audios and srt subtitles and respects the metadata that may include the mkv container. So it will even add the images the matroska may include as attachments (though not another types AFAIK) and convert them to tracks; you will not be able to watch but they will be there (you can demux them). Ah, and if the mkv has chapters the mp4 too.
In order to follow the dialogue in a film, a subtitles download is sometimes necessary. Movie subtitles stream the words of the dialogue across the bottom of the screen, making them accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences as well as translating foreign languages into English. Quite a few high-quality subtitle downloaders are available on the market today.
So many subtitle downloading websites exist that it may be hard to narrow down your options. To help you make your choice, here is a list of seventeen sites that you can use to download subtitles for movies, including a brief description and some pros and cons of each option.

SDH subtitles provide a richer experience for these media consumers when compared to subtitles. This is accomplished by adding additional information, such as speaker tags, sound effects and other elements outside of speech.
For example, SDH subtitles will indicate audio elements such as music, coughing or laughter audience laughter. Similar to plain subtitles, SDH also run simultaneously with the audio or video file, syncing the transcript with the action/speech.
Closed captions are required by law on all public broadcasts, as per FCC regulations. They can be found on most televisions and are usually what pop up if you choose the subtitle option on a traditional TV. Although geared toward the same audience and similar in content, there are a number of differences between closed captions and SDH subtitles.
The biggest benefit to including subtitles lies in increasing accessibility to multimedia content. SDH allows viewers who cannot access the auditory component of a media file to still enjoy the media in the fullest way possible, without missing out on the supplementary sounds that add to the overall viewing experience. SDH also gives audiences with hearing impairments the closest thing to an equal experience, which is important not only for disability rights but also for information acquisition.
Captions and subtitles are a lot more complex than most people realize. While they may seem interchangeable, understanding the differences between captions and subtitles is an important step in determining the most appropriate option for your video content.
In the accessibility space, timed text files are usually intended to pair the transcription of dialogue and/or sound to media. The timing information allows the text to be synchronized to specific time codes of media. Both captions and subtitles are forms of timed text.
Subtitles can appear in a variety of styles, but often appear as white or yellow text outlined in black, or with a black dropshadow. It is also common for subtitles to mimic the appearance of captions. Placement varies, but is often centered at the bottom of the screen for readability and ease in translation. When graphics or text appear in the lower third of the video, subtitles are typically placed just above the graphic/text. Subtitles can sometimes be customized by viewers, depending on where media is being viewed.
Forced narrative (FN) subtitles, also known as forced subtitles, clarify pertinent information meant to be understood by the viewer. FN subtitles are overlaid text used to clarify dialogue, burned-in texted graphics, and other information that is not otherwise explained or easily understood by the viewer.
In the files tool, you can add captions or subtitles in multiple languages to videos with advanced features turned on. This will make your videos more accessible for visitors who cannot hear the audio or who speak a different language. Each visitor can toggle captions on or off depending on their preferences.
@PamCotton I think the key question here, is how to we have Subtitles automatically play when a video starts. Currently someone needs to turn on the Captions/subtitles on the video rather than them just playing automatically
To change the default subtitles language in Settings, go to Settings > Video and Audio > Audio > Subtitle Language, then choose the language that you want. If you don't want automatic subtitles and you're using an Apple TV, go to Settings > Video and Audio, then turn off Automatic Subtitles. If you're using a smart TV or streaming device, go to Settings > General, then turn off Automatic Subtitles.
If you don't see subtitles or language options, they might not be available for that show or movie. Check the show or movie descriptions page in the Apple TV app to find out what subtitles or languages are available.
Soft subtitles are text files that live outside of the video file, but can be toggled on or off in the video player. They are created by subtitling software and exported in different text formats - .srt, .sub, .ssa, or .vtt. Currently, Vimeo OTT only accepts .srt and .vtt files to be played in the streaming player with your movie. This .srt or .vtt file will also be available for download by the customer on the watch page.
If your viewers have captions or subtitles enabled, they can access the Customize menu within CC settings to edit font size, font color, font edge styling, background color, and background opacity. You can also access this functionality by leveraging WebVTT standards in caption or subtitle files during upload.
