What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

When a video carries more than one soundtrack or subtitle, choose which one plays.

The player's right-click menu with Audio open beside it: the film's English track, its title on the first line and Dolby Digital, 5.1, 48 kHz and 640 kbps on the second, ticked as the one playing, then Sound, which holds the loudness, night, dialogue and equaliser settings, and Audio delay

The player's right-click menu with Subtitles open beside it: Off, five of the video's own tracks under In this file with German ticked as playing, then More (5), a French file under Beside the video, then Timing, Search online… and Tools

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • Kaveo remembers the language you pick, or Off, for that film or series, later episodes included — from your own folders and from Jellyfin alike. A subtitle file you pick comes back whenever that video plays. A commentary never opens first; see Audio settings for your languages. A private title keeps no language.
  • Audio › Audio delay moves the sound 50 or 500 ms at a time, or press K and L; it is remembered for that film or series. The subtitles have their own, under Subtitles › Timing — see Subtitle timing.
  • To get, time, write or translate a subtitle, see Loading subtitles, Finding subtitles online, Syncing subtitles, Writing and editing subtitles and Translating subtitles.
