I can't add Youtube feeds anymore!

I've had Inoreader for quite a while. Admittedly at the free tier. I had set up several folders to keep tabs on yt vid subscriptions but now, as i tried to add a new one, it will not give me any option to add or even try to find it. Any suggestions or alternatives? Chromebook and android.

Overlapping subtitles

This is happening more and more, mainly on Anime. What ove tried so far taken from previous posts.

Cleared Cache

Used MPV or VLC

Enabled SSA with Exoplayer

Checked whether Ive more than one subtitle.

Checked for embedded subtitles.

Uninstalled and reinstalled.

Changed Subtitle add-ons. v3 still best.

Anymore suggestions. Is it just bad subtitle rendering or whatever the technical term is?

Just finished Middlemarch by George Eliot as read by Juliet Stevenson.

i listened over a couple of weeks averaging 2 or 3 hours a day. i loved this book and Stevenson's narration was excellent. I'm new to listening to Classics, this being my 2nd after East of Eden. I'm certainly being won over.

Eliot's turn of phrase amd wit shine through in this book, and her characters were all well conceived. I will think about this for some while and do some background research to. Overall im very surprised how much i enjoyed it as i didn't think it my thing.

What do you think of Middlemarch? And how does it compare to similar works of fiction? Im interested in any insights you may have. Please tag spoilers for others.

Who have you brought over to Palace and where are they from?

Another post for me thinking about this.

From having no previous British team I have convinced an American, a German, a Greek, a Thai and two women (who said they have no interest in football) to support the Crystal Palace. One flew over to watch a game for their 30th. I can die a happy man.

So what do we know about Sage and what can we expect from him?

Anyone aware of preferred tactics, training schedules, areas of concern. Will he attract certain players as Glasner did? Backstaff? You know what I mean.

My biggest complaint. Audio

I'm studying Greek and I find the Greek audio almost unusable. The flat monotone just doesn't work with some languages. Greek is one. I can't distinguish questions, words pairings and verbal phrases. I'm on level 35 or so and listen to a lot of Greek. I have to copy the phrase and put it into Youglish or similar to get the correct cadence and intonation.

Come on Duolingo. You can do better than the stock Google voice! It's the one thing that stops it being a good app.

East of Eden audio version

I made the leap, as I'm doing a lot of walking just now, and bought the Audible East of Eden narrated by Simon Manyonda. I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy it. I sustain about an hour at a time. That seems to be my limit. I'm not lost in thought or drift off. I would say that some voices are off or unnecessary. I knew I would enjoy the book as I haven't disliked a Steinbeck. I'm interested to know your thoughts on listening to classics? I'm not converted. Nothing beats hunkering down and reading but I think it can be worthy. I expect certain classics just can't be narrated. Experimental fictions etc. What do you think?
