bad position some character (... , !) in farsi subtitle

Bug

I want to show Farsi subtitles, but some characters show at the beginning of the sentences. While the main sentence, those are at the end of the sentences. characters for example are: ! - ,

there is a similar issue: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2194 I set subView.setViewType(SubtitleView.VIEW_TYPE_WEB) for player view (I didn't use separated subtitleview, I handled subtitles in the main player) the problem was resolved. but when I use subView.setViewType(SubtitleView.VIEW_TYPE_WEB) lose focus on android tv. Apparently, the subtitle view takes focus when using subView.setViewType(SubtitleView.VIEW_TYPE_WEB).

I used BidiFormatter for testing, but I can't add some requirement parameters (language, id, and ...) and I can't test that.

but other characters(?) are correct position. so the problem is not related to alignment and right-to-left direction.

Can you provide us with some test media, so we can test with this?

our app has registration and you can't test that directly

subtitle file: per.zip

a video stream for sample: index-v1-a1.zip

Is this issue reporting that positioning of some characters is wrong in RTL subtitles? If so I think it's a duplicate of https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2194 as you've already linked.

Or is it reporting this:

when I use subView.setViewType(SubtitleView.VIEW_TYPE_WEB) lose focus on android tv

If it's the latter please provide complete and clear information about what 'losing focus' means in this case, and what the resulting symptoms are.

I continued the issue (https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2194), but someone said please make a new issue.

my problem is the positioning of some characters is wrong in RTL subtitles and I can't use subView.setViewType(SubtitleView.VIEW_TYPE_WEB) as a solution, because I lose focus. can you give me another solution? if there isn't any solution except using subView.setViewType(SubtitleView.VIEW_TYPE_WEB), how do I resolve the problem of losing focus?

when starts to play on android tv, no widget in the player doesn't have focus( player controller, and any focusable view in the player), but when one time closes the player controller and again I make it show the player controller, the focus returns. But when I delete the following line : subView.setViewType(SubtitleView.VIEW_TYPE_WEB) everything is fine.
