Please improve the subtitles control overall

For a +1000$ TV, the subtitles system for the media player is not okay.

1) The subtitles delay can only go in – time. No + (later). So if the subtitles come too early, you cannot improve it. It should be possible to control by 50ms or at least 100ms instead of only half seconds.

2) The font is just bad. Not super legible, with inconsistent spacing (the space between letters is sometimes big, sometimes small), and a pretty bad design overall. Offer more fonts to choose, like other brands do.

3) The smallest size possible is still relatively big. Why not give more control options? Maybe selecting the exact size by increments of 2 points instead of 6-7 options.

4)  It should be possible to decide if subtitles have an outline or not, or shadow, just overall more control depending on personal taste and the film one watches. Just color is simply amateurish for this price.

5) Offer more options to place to font even lower on the screen. I've seen others request this.

Please LG, improve this in a firmware upgrade. Currently subtitles ruin my film experience. Thanks in advance.

      Allow to play old .avi files, please!
      By Digard
      I know this was mentioned before. I'd like to support this.
      WebOS is such a great and versatile system; a real media centre. BUT: I have a number of video files that it simply doesn't play. VLC, e.g. does, but is not available. 
      To me it is such a pity that I have to have a system in parallel (actually a PC!) to play those files, with VLC, and then switch to HDMI to watch the clips on my TV. This doesn't look very much like 2026, as far as I am concerned.
      To give an example, in which nothing is spectacular, and yet it doesn't play:
      Format                                   : AVI Format/Info                              : Audio Video Interleave Format settings                          : BitmapInfoHeader / WaveFormatEx File size                                : 360 MiB Duration                                 : 51 min 6 s Overall bit rate                         : 986 kb/s Frame rate                               : 23.976 FPS Writing application                      : VirtualDubMod 1.5.4.1 (build 2178/release) Writing library                          : VirtualDub build 24259/release Video ID                                       : 0 Format                                   : MPEG-4 Visual Format profile                           : Advanced Simple@L5 Format settings                          : BVOP1 Format settings, BVOP                    : 1 Format settings, QPel                    : No Format settings, GMC                     : No warppoints Format settings, Matrix                  : Default (H.263) Muxing mode                              : Packed bitstream Codec ID                                 : XVID Codec ID/Hint                            : XviD Duration                                 : 51 min 6 s Bit rate                                 : 752 kb/s Width                                    : 512 pixels Height                                   : 384 pixels Display aspect ratio                     : 4:3 Frame rate                               : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS Color space                              : YUV Chroma subsampling                       : 4:2:0 Bit depth                                : 8 bits Scan type                                : Progressive Compression mode                         : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame)                       : 0.160 Stream size                              : 275 MiB (76%) Writing library                          : XviD 1.1.0 (2005-11-22) Audio ID                                       : 1 Format                                   : AC-3 Format/Info                              : Audio Coding 3 Commercial name                          : Dolby Digital Codec ID                                 : 2000 Duration                                 : 51 min 6 s Bit rate mode                            : Constant Bit rate                                 : 224 kb/s Channel(s)                               : 2 channels Channel layout                           : L R Sampling rate                            : 48.0 kHz Frame rate                               : 31.250 FPS (1536 SPF) Compression mode                         : Lossy Delay relative to video                  : 23 ms Stream size                              : 81.9 MiB (23%) Alignment                                : Split across interleaves Interleave, duration                     : 42  ms (1.00 video frame) Interleave, preload duration             : 500  ms Service kind                             : Complete Main Dialog Normalization                     : -27 dB compr                                    : 0.53 dB dynrng                                   : 0.53 dB dialnorm_Average                         : -27 dB dialnorm_Minimum                         : -27 dB dialnorm_Maximum                         : -27 dB Please, add-on to media player whatever is necessary to play such files!
      Better yet: add something like VLC or at least Dragon. Make it available; even if the warranty was void, I'd prefer to load such an application.
      Thanks for pondering!

      How internal subtitles are selected for MKV files?
      By ALIENQuake
      If I play an MKV video from a USB drive that contains multiple subtitle tracks with correct language tags, will webOS automatically select the appropriate subtitles, for example based on the TV interface language or the country where the TV is being used? Or it will just select first one/makred as fefault?

      Universal Control Settings : Optical : Sherwood Amp - No volume control
      By MNW
      I've had Universal Control via the smart remote sucessfully controlling the audio (volume) for my LG OLED 48C1LB tv via my Sherwood RD-6118R amp for a while now; But following a power cut, the remote no longer controls the amp/tv volume?
      The audio IS still being played through the amp using the optical OUT/IN but I have no control of the volume
      I've removed and re-initialised the settings for this amp in Universal Control Settings but following the "success" message, the remote does not control the volume on the amp/tv. 
      What am I missing?

      Subtitles in media player not being correctly displayed
      By ZealousFlamingo
      So basically I just got a new LG OLED TV (55 inch C5) and my Dad's C4 was seemingly able to display internal or embedded subtitles in TV shows through the built-in media player from external USB storage just fine with some tinkering in the menus.
      But with mine, the subtitles are displaying all of the raw text in the subtitle files in the player, not using the arguments properly at all.
      Pictures included for reference
       
      Is there any way to fix this other than literally doing subtitles for every episode externally, in a seperate file?
      These subtitles work fine when I play from the exact same storage device on my phone through VLC, and again on my Dad's LG TV
