Description
Steps to reproduce
Please fix design flaw with selecting in the app, it really hurts all the time. There's possible no table with dividing right and left part of the screen.
- Use a remote and not touch events for testing.
- Open title with many subtitles option, and possible several sources.
- Try to use down button on your remote and then go up.
Situation example
a. source1______ a.1 sub1
b. source2______ a.2 sub2
c. source3______ a.3 sub3
_________________a.4 sub4
_________________a.5 sub5
_________________a.6 sub6
Expected behavior
Expected result is when you use your remote and app understand where is left an right. So it should stop from sources (a. b. c. -> stop) switch right side a.1 a.2 a.3 a.4 a.5 a.6 -> stop, a.6 a.5 a.4 a.3 a.2 a.1 -> stop -> search
Actual behavior
Current selection with design flaw will go from bottom a.6 a.5 a.4 c b a -> search, then from top a b c random random random, then from bottom a.6 a.5 a.4 a.3 a.2 a.1 -> search

Research direction
Reproduce the subtitle/source selection flow on Android 11 using a remote, following the listed down and up navigation steps. Start by locating the app entry point that handles selection across source and subtitle lists; done means navigation stops at each list boundary and moves between the lists predictably instead of entering random items.
