Common problems

OBSOLETE SUBTITLES

In the subtitle options in step 18, you can advance and delay the subtitles with the Move Subtitles option in case they are obsolete, if the changes are not reflected disable and enable the subtitle option.

THEY DO NOT LOAD SUBTITLES

In case the subtitles don’t load, we go to the OpenSubtitles settings, open the settings and configure our username and password. To create an account we do it from from the OpenSubtitles site.

NO LIST OF SUBTITLES / FALSE TITLE

Sometimes it may happen that when you watch a movie and want to load the subtitles, Kodi does not load the correct ones, that is, in the list appears those of another movie, for this, you can perform a manual search, by following these steps:

1. Select the subtitle icon
2. Download
3. Manual search string
4. We write the name of the movie we want to see the subtitles
5. We tried the title in English and French
