Your languages, series by series#

In Settings → Audio & subtitles, list your preferred audio languages and subtitle languages, in order. Mira picks from the tracks of each file.

Change the audio or subtitles of an episode, and Mira remembers it for the whole series: the next episodes get the same choice, matched by language and track name ("Full" rather than "Signs", subtitles off…). An episode without a similar track falls back on your preferred languages. These choices follow your account to your other devices.

The same page sets the size and style of subtitles (dark background, white or yellow, bold, height on screen), with a preview.

In the player#

The audio and subtitles menu shows both lists side by side, the current track ticked, with its language, codec and channels.

  • Load a file… plays a subtitle file of your own (.srt, .ass, .vtt). Then Keep on Jellyfin sends it to Jellyfin, so your other devices have it too.
  • Search for subtitles… appears when Jellyfin has a subtitle plugin, like Open Subtitles or Mira's own automatic subtitles. Mira says first what will be sent to the service.
  • Subtitle delay (⋮ menu) shifts them if they come too early or too late, until the player closes. On iPhone, it is in the subtitles menu, in steps of 0.5 s.

Automatic subtitles#

Mira's extension on Jellyfin can find subtitles by itself for each new film or episode, in the languages you choose, check that they fit the video and sync them to it. On Windows and Mac, signed in as Jellyfin's administrator: Settings → Maintenance → Automatic subtitles.

  1. Choose your Languages, and whether subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) are preferred, either, or avoided.
  2. Choose the sources: OpenSubtitles works without an account (an account only raises the daily quota); SubDL needs a free API key of yours.
  3. Test the sources, then turn on Search automatically.

When a title arrives, Mira's extension looks for a match, then tries again now and then for a month if nothing is reliable enough. It never searches while something plays. It keeps a candidate only when it is sure: a file whose fingerprint matches yours, or a release from the same group and source. Before keeping it, it checks its length against the video, and Sync to the video aligns it on the file's own text track or on its speech. Log shows what was kept, set aside and why.

Also search for what is already there goes through your whole library once per language. It uses your daily quota, so it can take several days.
