Choose subtitles, audio tracks, and timing

BoxPlayerUpdated November 2, 20262 min read

A video may have several audio and subtitle tracks. Confirm the edition before selecting a track.

Platforms

All platforms; track, subtitle, and styling capabilities depend on the file and engine.

01Open playback controls

Open the audio or subtitle menu during playback. Use the remote on TV, or tap the picture on a touch device.

02Choose a language

Select by language and track description. Check the file if a track is missing; changing the app language cannot create an absent dub.

Subtitle, audio-track, and delay options in the player

03Adjust timing and appearance

Adjust subtitle delay in small steps and replay the same scene. Size, margin, and styling only apply where the subtitle type and engine support them.

Before you finish

  • The intended edition is playing
  • The intended language is selected
