Better search for Forced-subtitles

The sub-title auto search is great feature however it often never finds Forced Subtitles (foreign parts only)

All the subtitles search pretty much use OpenSubtitles which is fine, but for lots of movies, it won’t show forced, even if change any of the language settings on the server for subtitles.

However… if you go onto OpenSubtitles and English filter, there is clearly a Force-Subtitle sub.

I don’t know if your search doesn’t pick it up if the normal and forced file names are labelled the same or what, but having moved over to new library agent for quicker library metadata, and can no longer use plugins (sub-zero) I now have to manually check OpenSubtitles to make sure there is no forced as the search just don’t work well like only 10% of the time it finds the forced sub.

What’s your preference / selection in Settings > Account > Audio & Subtitle Settings > Forced Subtitle Searches?

This has always been selected as shown below.

However as stated for some movies the forced subs will be found, and others they won’t even though when you go onto OpenSubtitles they are clearly there in English as forced sub titles, so I have to check Open Sub everytime to make sure there arn’t any forced and if there is I have to download it and put in same folder as movie file.
