If the box where I can’t set up a third party player to do the ‘replay last 5 seconds with subtitles on’ because it’s all locked down is the best then I don’t want to know what the worst is, I’ll just keep using LibreElec. At least if LibreElec does something I don’t like Claude can fix it.

The Apple TV (hardware) can do what you're asking using a voice command "What did he/she say". It's possible it no longer works in every app because services insist on writing their own players that don't work as well as the player provided by Apple TV.

When Subtitles are set to 'auto' i think it now automatically turns the subtitles on like that when you do the skip back command.

But yeah, the Siri way (much as I loathe using Siri) is the definite way.

I know about the feature, I'm just saying it only works in the first party app and you can't make in work in e.g. Infuse. [0]

What box do you put librelec on?

A cheap Android TV box. Between lack of proper hardware acceleration for 4K/Dolby Vision decoding and lack of sleep(!) support, I would never recommend that hardware, the ones that are actually recommended by the community are RP5 ($$$) and especially Intel Nx00 (N100 etc.) which are actually the gold standard of mainline(-ish in case of RPi) codec and hardware support.

Wow entitled gatekeeping much?

What if parent already knows the answers to that and the question they really want to ask is … wait for it… the one they actually asked?

If you want to ask a different question go right ahead but cutting off others like this is plain rude.

You do you, but I find that to be a truly niche thing to throw away an entire platform over. It literally does everything else better imho.
