I might be missing a setting here, but this issue only started happening since I started using Kodi 17.1:
When I try to play an MKV file with integrated subtitles, said subtitles won’t appear the first time I play the file. If I stop the movie/episode and then restart the file from the beginning, the subtitles will then work perfectly for the rest of the play duration.
I have to repeat this behavior each time I want to watch a new episode, this issue occurs on all my files, every time.
I’d love to know how to fix this…
