I just want a button that rewinds 10-15s, turns on subtitles, and then turns them off when it catches up again. It's a pattern I do manually with some regularity.

I suppose with Jellyfin/OSS, this is something I could implement myself if I was so inclined...

Most of the apps on Roku have a 10 second rewind and you can set subtitles/CC to be on resume which means they only stick around for about 10 seconds or so.

A bunch of platforms have this. I think all Roku apps support this and I noticed on Apple+ on Chromecast I think.

My Roku used to do this, but sadly my NVIDIA shield doesn't.

Why not leave the subs on all the time?

I can't have full-time subs, I can't read and pay attention to the show at the same time, even though I can read fast. I just impulsively read the subtitle over again.

Anime and gaming trained me just for this

Because it covers some of the screen and is distracting? I actually prefer subtitled anime, but not if it's a language I understand.
