question about subtitles and aligna/v start

Post by dts »

1. if i understand correctly "add foreign audio scan" option in subtitles, scan the audio file to see if there is any foreign language and add selected language subtitles if there is and don't add any if there isn't right ? how does it recognize foreign audio separated from English?

2. is there any downside to using "align a/v start" option ? reddit user said - "It can misalign videos that would otherwise be fine. Only use it if you’re having issues"

1. it scans the subtitles tracks. It checks if there is a track with a few forced subtitles or a separate track with a few subtitles.

2. No, there isn't a downside, it can't misalign things.
