Would be worth providing a link to an example, I can't replicate this issue when trying in my own setup. it's working as expected.

I can reproduce it on the Demo site. At first it worked as expected, but after fiddling a bit around the sync is now broken on the demo site for me.

Maybe it has something to do with reloading in between? The vidstack GUI always starts with subs on, while the iOS player persists the last state between reloads.

Case 1: Vidstack GUI Subs: off Image

iOS Player Subs: English Image

Case 2: Vidstack GUI Subs: on Image

iOS Player Subs in menu: off Image

iOS Player Subs on screen: on Image
