[SUGGESTION] Android TV: easily navigate through available subtitles

Open davidtvieira opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Stremio on Android TV:

Right now, when I want to try diferent subtitles I'll have to go to the menu of subtitles and click on one, the process is like this:

menu - select subtitle - confirm

Then, to try another subtitle, repeat the process.

This process can be time consuming and not very user friendly when there are, for example, 5 versions and the correct one is the last one. So you'll have to try all of them to find a synced subtitle. To do you'll have to repeat the process 4 times:

(menu - select subtitle - confirm - see if its the correct one)(4x)

A simple solution is:

  • select the menu of subtitles
  • select subtitle
  • the subtitle is displayed but I don't leave the menu. This way I can scroll through to select other available subtitles and see their preview.
  • When I find the one I desire I can just confirm and leave the menu and proceed to see the content.

It went from: menu - select subtitle - confirm - see if its the correct one to: menu - select subtitle - see if is the correct one - confirm

Now, when the correct version of the subtitle is the 5th one the process to finding it is: menu - select subtitle - (see if is the correct one)(4x) - confirm

This way the process of finding a fiting subtitle is much simpler!

Thank you for all your effort on developing Stremio!

Making the grey box a bit transparent would help to !
