I watch shows in streaming on links found in the megathread and suddenly subtitles aren't working anymore? How does it work behind the scenes? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks 🙏

Video on random streaming sites don't have very good quality control. Corrupt videos, missing/wrong audio/subtitles or just having episodes being missing or out of order are common.

The work around is to try other sites/sources until you find one that works or switch to downloading.
