[BUG] some videos do not show subtitles

[milindgoel15]

Describe the bug Though I can't seem to figure out which type of videos are like this, but some of the videos/movies that I download do not show any subtitles in the video player when they actually have one included.

I confirmed it via VLC player.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Not sure but

1. Download a movie torrent with included subtitles.
2. 50% chance will be the subtitle won't show up in the subtitle option

Expected behavior Subtitles show up

@milindgoel15 can you send the specific video file or torrent

Shall I send the link to the torrent on other platforms? Are you on telegram?

@milindgoel15 The video file provided by you contains subtitles in DVD format which doesn't supported by exoplayer natively yet. Although i can try using ffmpeg but it's gonna take some time

Cool

So .sub & .idx and not .vtt, .ssa/.ass, .vob or other formats ? ...I wonder if the other Open Sourced players (some listen in the ReadMe) support those...

I am not sure if it's appropriate to submit here since this does not seem specifically related to being DVD subtitle format, but I'm having a similar issue.

I've included a paste of the mediainfo subtitles section below. The player still detects subtitles for both files in the subtitles selector, they both have ASS format, but for one of the files the subs do not show up at all on screen while playing the video. The files that do work are any subsplease files, the file in question that does not work is from the Kaleido-Subs releases of Blue Archive The Animation, none of those work. I suspect this could be related to the kaleido-subs size/bitrate/framerate of the subtitle or the fact that kaleido shows "Muxing mode: zlib" in one line of the mediainfo.

--Subsplease-- works

--Kaleido-Subs-- Doesn't work

Thanks for working on this project, it is the best player on Android right now in my opinion, and again I'm sorry if I should have made a full new post for this.
