The first would be the ability to shuffle a playlist. I loved that shuffle was added episodes a while back.
This is possible today with the current release.
Click on your Playlist library. Then, on the grid of Playlists, highlight the one you want and instead of pressing “OK” press “Play” on your remote. It’ll shuffle play the highlighted playlist.
For the subtitle one, I’m unsure what capabilities the API offers us and what functionality Roku would support, but it’s at least worth taking a look and seeing what’s possible.
I played around with the remote subtitles download this afternoon. I got it working. Still need to clean it up and get it looking nice, but here’s a demo of it in action.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I would have never stumbled upon playlist shuffling by myself. Wow! You have no idea how much you just made my day! Thank you!

Holy cow! That’s amazing!
PR opened to merge the remote subtitle function into the next major release: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/pull/1694
Here’s a breakdown of how it works: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-movie-remote-subtitle-management?pid=15806
I can’t believe this happened because I made a comment on a Plex community. Thank you so much for even looking into this.
🤘 Enjoy
