Add list keyword for detecting forced subtitle // mod: configurable/custom keyword

many of my videos have subtitles marked as force, forcé, forcés… but plex only recognizes the word forced…
I would like to be able to have a list, to be able to define a list of words which if found will define the forced sub title

a list completed by the plex server administrator, essentially a possibility of customization

Forced subtitles are marked not by the title of their stream, but by a dedicated flag in the file container. The title is completely irrelevant.

And with keywork forced, try it :slight_smile:

Example :
my preferences are on the french language and forced sub track if present. when an mkv video has the forced flag the subtitle track is loaded by default, if the track does not have the forced flag but its title contains forced then it is also loaded automatically

that’s why I’m making this feature request to be able to add other keywords

I don’t think this is a good idea.
Simply because of the potential number of possible spellings – particularly if you consider the number of languages that content in Plex can have.
To add the equivalent of “forced” in each language (plus several variations thereof) into a globally supported list would produce too many false positives, I reckon.
It is precisely the reason why a globally supported flag is the proper way to do it.

Not to mention that support for such a workaround will only encourage users to continue to not properly tag their files.

My request is not to ask plex to add the word “forcé” to the list, but to allow the plex server administrator to add personalized keywords himself via an input field (separated by commas) or a registry key on windows, the plist on mac or the xml on linux. asking to add a word just in my language would be selfish, and effectively unmanageable for plex team given the number of languages ​​:)
