[BUG] Android TV player renders wrong subtitle track when selecting external subtitles

This is happening for me now. Also Android TV.

Server version: 1.23.5.4862
App version: 8.21.2.27212

It’s pretty weird. If I select an external srt it sometimes won’t show any subtitles at all. If there are multiple external subtitles to choose from (let’s say English and Danish) and I pick the English one it will render one of the embedded subtitles, even if those embedded subtitles would usually require transcoding (which I have disabled). But if I pick the Danish subtitle it will render the external English subtitle (or perhaps an embedded English sub). If I manually pick embedded subs (in these cases usually PGS) the media won’t play, since it requires transcoding. Also, the Android TV app shows the current active subtitle is the one I selected even if it is rendering something else.

If I chromecast from my phone, the subtitles will be rendered correctly according to the subs I have selected.
