To stay ethical:
| Device | Arabic Subtitle Support | Portability Score | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Excellent (UTF-8 required) | ★★★★★ | | Android Phone (MX Player) | Excellent (Supports .srt, .ass) | ★★★★★ | | Kindle Fire HD | Good (Use VLC from Store) | ★★★★☆ | | Cheap USB Car Player | Moderate (Must be ANSI encoding) | ★★★☆☆ | | Apple TV / Chromecast | Excellent (Via Plex or Infuse) | ★★★★☆ |
