To make a node re-read its configuration straight away, use force reload in the [admin API](/docs/api): `POST /api/v2/admin/nodes/{id}/force-reload` for one node, or `POST /api/v2/admin/nodes/force-reload` for every enabled node. There is no button for it. On a transcode node it also ends every live playback session.

Update all nodes together with the main server when the release notes say so. During the [1.0 update](/docs/updates#moving-from-alpha-to-10), don't mix alpha and 1.0 nodes.

A transcode node on an older version than the main server can't send subtitles from inside a video file along with the converted video. Silo then converts that playback on the main server or an updated node instead. Only if **Node routing** leaves no such machine does an older node convert it, and the apps then download the subtitle separately, which can take minutes on network storage.

Choose **Off** to hide subtitles. The same language can appear more than
once when the title has several subtitle tracks in that language.

When Silo converts the video for your device, the mobile and TV apps get a
text subtitle from inside the video file along with the video, so it appears
as soon as playback starts. Turning on a subtitle from inside the file, or
switching to another one, restarts the video at the same spot, which takes a
moment.

If the language you want isn't there,
