Offer controls for track (subtitle) synchronization

[rexendevar]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I can't stand when the subtitles are seconds off the audio. Unofrtunately this is a constant occurrence. Would like to be able to make them happen earlier or later to compensate.

Describe the solution you'd like Under the subtitles submenu in the player, I would like a little section at the top with a number field for seconds of offset and two radio buttons for "earlier" or "later." Offset would start at 0.00 seconds and the other two buttons would be grayed out until a value is entered (maybe could also use arrow keys or scroll wheel on the number field). You could implement the same feature under the audio selector submenu as well to offset the audio track from the video but this isn't something I've ever personally required. Also the UI I describe is just a concept to make it easier than VLC's system

Describe alternatives you've considered VLC has this but it's a massive pain to set up. The number field is garbage, it takes ages to register the change and the program keeps crashing. Jellyfin is how I watch all my movies anyway & I don't enjoy switching programs.

Additional context this is what it looks like in VLC so u know what I'm talking about

while playing, turn subtitles on, press settings, press subtitle timing (could be named differently, i am using another language), then you can adjust timing on the fly.

then maybe you are not using the "jellyfin media player" for desktop, but another jellyfin client, like the google tv one..........?

I'm on the android one currently. i assumed there was more or less feature parity between all fully updated platforms

this is specifically for the desktop clients "Jellyfin media player", so your request should go elsewhere
