Among these we can talk about the aforementioned videos, sound files, TV channelsPhotos, retro games and more.

For this, the software in the form of a multimedia center offers us a multitude of features and operating modes.
In addition to the reproduction itself, we can also manage our files of this type or create personal lists. In addition, this operation can be carried out both locally or via streaming.

We refer to the possibility of using subtitles in the Kodi player that will appear next to the corresponding image. Perhaps one of the most interesting things here is the customization and configuration possibilities that we can carry out with these elements.

Changes we should make to the use of subtitles in Kodi

After that, we click on the gear-shaped button that we find at the top of the main interface. This gives us access to the program configuration options, in this case we click on Player, and in the left panel we go to Languages.

Position of texts on the screen: We are used to displaying these items at the bottom of the playback window. But we are not always going to be interested in this location, so the media center It allows us to place the texts of the videos in other places that are more comfortable for us on the screen.
Font: In addition, as it happens in many other programs, here we can customize the font or type of text that we want to use by default. So we can choose the one that is most readable or easy to read.
File location: we can also choose the disk location where these items will be saved by default. The usual thing is to store them in the same folder when downloading them automatically, in which we have saved the corresponding video.
