As a managed user I want that the preferred settings for audio and subtitles also apply to my account so when I start watching content or when I sync content, the correct audio and subtitle is selected / transcoded.

I use my admin user only to change settings, metadata and delete media. My admin user is protected with a pin. A different, managed user is used to play content on tv and devices. This user is not protected with a pin, but can’t cause any harm (don’t want my kids to delete stuff).

The managed users always have to select the subtitle before watching and when I use sync, subtitles are not burned into the transcoded file. This is very annoying.

Please apply the preferred settings from the admin user to the managed users.

Thanks

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (managed users have their own account settings incl. audio/subtitle preferences)
