I was a regular Plex user, until they had their mental breakdown recently. So I switched to jellyfin. I have only two problems with jellyfin so far. One of them is subtitles (the other is the “remote controller” doesn’t always sync properly).

Plex had an integrated subtitle downloader. You could just start a show, see that it was lacking subtitles and Plex could isntantly download subtitles for you. That doesn’t seem to work in Jellyfin.

Is there an option or a plugin somewhere that can do/fix this for jellyfin?

    Despite owning a lifetime Plex Pass, it would put ads in the subtitles. That may be on the site’s end though, not Plex’s.

    You would be correct. Plex doesn’t generate the subtitles at all - they are pulled from places like OpenSubtitles. The person/entity that made the subtitles and uploaded them to wherever Plex pulled it from is responsible for that. Absolutely zero to do with having a lifetime Plex Pass.
