Describe the bug

ASS subtitle styling is not working, both with the settings option on and off the subtite styling is just replaced by Stremio's own settings, sometimes causing things like text displaying multiple times, or all showing up at the bottom of the screen instead than positioned where it's supposed to be.

External player options are a bit different. My only options in the settings are either Disabled or M3U playlist, M3U also seems to do nothing as it doesn't download anything and it just plays the stream in the default player. I have VLC and MPV installed, and I've checked the server.js file to make sure that it points to the right directory, which it does.
While in the player, the triple dot menu in the bottom right also doesn't have the option to play the stream in an external player.
i've tried granting the flatpak access to my system files using flatseal (i thought maybe Stremio wasn't able to see the installed players) but it didn't work.
