Hello,
I use Libreelec to add subtitles to recordings that come from DVB-T/S and subtitles come from opensubtitles.com.
The subtitles are never synchronized with the video.
How I should do to be successfull ?
Thanks for your help.

You will probably have to resync them, there are several tools for this, like https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases and others.

What are the others ?

The better approach would be to record the original subs broadcast with the media you are recording. Then things are in-sync from the start. The subs on opensubtitles are aligned to the media rips they were sourced from, and beyond your recordings having the same movie/show name as those rips there's nothing in-common; hence the previous comment about needing to resync the subs to the (different) media you have. The other approach if things are only a little out, is to map the subtitle +/- delay controls in Kodi to some spare buttons on a remote so you can adjust things on-the-fly without having to navigate into menus all the time.

If you have a single sub file (most common is srt) you would only need to place it in the same folder as the movie.
For autodetection it should have the same filename like, name of movie.srt.
Including that into the movie would work too, but can be a hassle depending on file formats (as not every software might handle everything) .... and should only be done if the sub is timed correctly

You might want to check out the Kodi forum for more info.
