[9.2.2] Search for subtitles screen doesn't appear before video

1st Official Post

    I was using 9.0.2 but i upgraded my systeem and because of problems i reinstalled Kodi (9.2.2).

    I installed the add-on Subtitles (Addic7ed). Previously on my old installation before every video the systeem pauzed on the "search for subtitles" screen. Nou with the new installation the video just starts and i have to go to the "subtitles search" screen by hand.

    Any ideas on how to get the subtitles search screen back automatically?

    I only know of the "Auto download first subtitle" option.

    Bringing up the subtitle download window automatically is not default Kodi behavior.

    Perhaps you were using an add-on for that? Or is it Addic7ed-specific functionality?

    Mmmmm that is strange. I have had that from the start (i added subtitles immediately). No Addic7ed is just one of the website where Kodi pulls subtitles from (as far as i know).

    So it is normal behavior to start a video, pause, go the subtitles, search, download and continue the video? I like my way better ;)

    "Auto download first subtitle" is something i tested in the past but it often downloaded the wrong one, so i still had to do it by hand than. So i don't use that option anymore.

    My apologies. I remember now, i have used "AutoSub" on my previous installation to make this happen.

    Yeah that's the same as "SubLoader" but it was giving some issues on Leia....

    another option is program a key on your remote but disable the "load first subtitle found" in kodi settings..

    Code
