Glad, I found this thread. Have the same problem and it drives me nuts.
My own server works fine and plays the right language. However, when I watch via my friends server it always chooses English instead of German as default. His server works fine with all other remote users. They all have German set as default and it plays in German. Looking forward to the fix.
Question regarding that: what do you think, where lies the problem? On my server pr on his? Which needs to be updated?
@OttoKerner, question.
Does the value in the our server’s database get updated at some point from Plex’s database (since this is a global account setting and not set on a server per server bases by the user)?
Thanks for this thread, I think I might have the same issue, maybe someone can confirm.
My Admin account, and server side I have set default language , and subs. It works fine when I choose a movie.
But when my friends and my test account ( which is not admins ) chooses a movie, it’s not using the Language settings I have chosen on the server side.
I’m pretttttty sure it used to work before, but now it doesn’t.
An update has been released as a beta version. All users with a Plex Pass can install it now.
Users without a Plex Pass need to wait until this version is made ‘publicly available’.
Thanks, looks like a pretty big update !
Oh well I will wait until it hits public release channel, don’t want to beta test again… it’s not like we’re on a hurry now
Pretty excited by the seemingly “new” disable transcoding button. Hope it’s a server/client all at once feature as many of us expect for years now
