   Subtitles Not Showing

   • Solution: Ensure the subtitle file name matches the video file name exactly (e.g., movie.mkv and movie.srt). If using embedded PGS subtitles (common in Blu-ray rips), convert them to SRT using external software like Subtitle Edit, as the plugin only supports text-based subs natively.
   • From your project directory, run the simple command to create a tunnel to port 3000 (adjust port as needed):

     playit cast --port 3000 --name my-app
     

   • Note the public URL the plugin returns; use it for remote testing or webhook registration.
