Can't wait for the Kodi plugin :-)

Unsynched subtitles are hell. I don't know how Kodi knows that a subtitle in open subtitle is "synched". Looks like magic to me.

I use open subtitles with vlc, you just search by hash and if you have a match it usually is synced

A hash of what ? Torrents ? There are often 23.9fps and 25fps versions which are not interchangeable.

A hash of the file you are playing. Usually from torrents

Oh nice to have that on the roadmap.

Subaligner does respect the original frame rate. How the player is going to interpret the subtitle timecode is hard to know though.

The worst are subtitles that start out in sync and then slowly drift.
