Description
It is pretty common for anime subtitles to have times that overlap. This leads to ExoPlayer showing the text of the subtitle on top of the previous subtitle, making them unreadable. Is there a way to fix that?
This is an small sample of the vtt file that shows the issue (whole file attached):
01:56.260 --> 01:59.400
<i>They are known as "trash games."</i>
01:59.720 --> 02:02.260
Not Trash Games
01:59.720 --> 02:06.730
Semi-Redeemable Trash Games
02:00.100 --> 02:04.230
<i>Although most people
rightfully despise trash games,</i>
02:01.550 --> 02:06.730
Never Play Again
02:04.230 --> 02:06.730
<i>there are those who gleefully seek them out.</i>
