Research direction

Reproduce the failure in Cloudstream 4.5.5 at commit 2cce3fe using the listed movie and subtitle-loading steps. Start with the app's subtitle loading path and collect useful Logcat output, since the report's Logcat section is empty. Done means an internet subtitle loads and plays instead of showing “no subtitles”.
