Subtitle Renderer Ignores Right-to-Left Text Directionality
A subtitle text engine lays out Arabic strings using left-to-right boundaries rather than native RTL directionality, which pushes leading dialogue dashes to the wrong end of the line. The reporter proposes either forcing container direction or injecting a Unicode RTL mark ahead of the dash. Bidirectional text correctness is treated as a layout detail rather than a first-class rendering concern.

Media Players Lack a Setting to Auto-Filter SDH Captions From Subtitles
Users watching content with external subtitle files can't easily tell if a track contains hearing-impaired (SDH) annotations like sound-effect descriptions before selecting it. Without an automatic filter, viewers must manually try multiple subtitle tracks by trial and error to find a clean, dialogue-only version.

Media players lack preferred audio language filter matching subtitle options
Media applications offer a "show only preferred language" filter for subtitles but provide no equivalent for audio tracks, forcing users to scroll through long lists of audio options to find their preferred language. This inconsistency in the UX creates unnecessary friction, especially for multilingual users. The feature gap is a straightforward parity issue with the existing subtitle preference system.
Canva Auto-Captions Intermittently Disappear Mid-Video
