Server Version#:  
Player Version#:

In my Plex server that runs on Windows I turned on automatic audio and subtitle selection.

I choosed preferred audio: Hungarian  
Preferred subtitle Language: english  
Subtitle mode with foreign language only  
Prefer non sdh subtitle  
And prefer forced subtitle.

So if I watch movies in Hungarian I don,t want subtitle.  
If I watch movies in english then I want english subtitle.

My problem is that Plex select Hungarian audio (which is good) but it also selects english subtitle.  
Plex does this with every movie, and I don’t understand why, because I flag and name every movie tracks with Mkvtoolnix so, it not a problem with the movie files.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work if you select different languages for audio and subtitles.
