I was a regular Plex user, until they had their mental breakdown recently. So I switched to jellyfin. I have only two problems with jellyfin so far. One of them is subtitles (the other is the "remote controller" doesn't always sync properly).

Plex had an integrated subtitle downloader. You could just start a show, see that it was lacking subtitles and Plex could isntantly download subtitles for you. That doesn't seem to work in Jellyfin.

Is there an option or a plugin somewhere that can do/fix this for jellyfin?

there's an opensubtitles plugin to search for subs and download them; you can also manually upload them by going to a library item, clicking the three dots, an selecting edit subtitles. you can search by clicking the magnifying glass or add your own by clicking the plus.

you can also just drop srts in the folder containing your item named like <name of media file>.en.srt.

haven't found a way to automatically download subs though :/
