    I usually give it two or three shots and if they are not syncing properly I adjust the offset (think you can do in vlc, definitely can do in plex) until it’s right and that usually works pretty well and doesn’t typically take too long to get it right.

      There are also many online tools where once you figured it out in the player you can adjust the sync by uploading the subtitle file there. Good if you want to keep the media and don’t want to figure the delay out every single time.

      Yea, sometimes the subtitles are just wrong (like wrong words or different language than labelled).
