Could you add an option to auto-load subtitles? Either a specified language or just the only available one. If watching Anime or anything else that requires subtitles it's kinda annoying having to load up the subtitles for every single episode
Bugs, doesn't seem to matter what videos I use, and never happens in the same place, so I'm not sure how I can help you narrow these down tbh:
Audio cuts out for 2-10 seconds.
Audio stops completely (often after the above.)
Subtitles start 'shaking' and start merging, until all you get is a subtitle line which has characters all over the place & looks more like a garbled static image. Disappears and reappears at proper times but it will be the same image after this point.
Frequent crashes. The more media you play the more likely it becomes that it will crash, tends to happen when I do something like pause/unpause or start a new video.
I mainly watch anime and have watched a couple (2 or 3) of movies, I haven't noticed these problems with movies but it could be because I haven't really used it for that. All the anime is subtitled, some of them require an audio track switch. The issues seem to crop up faster if it's with an audio track switch, and they will start from the very first load. I can rarely watch a whole episode and almost never more than one.
6.2 & Current stable SXOS, cpu boost on, low buffer, full memory available.

Are you throwing large files with heavy decoding required . The container type you are using matroska ? or ... ? I play lots of smaller files not tried a movie on it - only TV shows and all were ok .What i am getting at is that your hopefully not trhowing 5-10 GB MKv's at it ?
They vary in size, but generally around 400MB-1GB, nothing near 5-10GB aside from the 2 or 3 films I've watched which were around 3-4GB (and worked mostly fine.) edit: and yeah, they're matroska containers.
As for details from the app:
edit2: I should specify, these three are from different anime series & rips.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
