I can not figure this out but Every movie in my library doesn’t have this issue but one,

The Hunt for Red October

For some reason I cannot get the subtitles to only play when Connery speaks Russian unless I turn on the subtitles, then it’s on for the entire movie not just for foreign audio I have it properly set up I’ve even plex danced the movie but this is the only movie in my Library that won’t subtitle Russian unless it’s turned on for the entire movie it’s infuriating! Non of my other movies play like this Star Wars for example Subs only pop up whenever they speak another language then disappear once the other characters speak English. I have Forced Subs turned on I even tried burn in subs on my players and nothing, this is the only movie out of the bunch that switch from foreign language to English with this issue and I have no idea why I’ve already tried the Plex Dance with it.

I’ve tried renaming the subtited file from English.srt to The Hunt For Red October (1990).srt
The Hunt For Red October (1990).forced.srt
The Hunt For Red October (1990).forced.en.srt
cleaned out bundles, ect. did plex dance about 5 times and everything is fine but this movie!

Before doing anything else, open the subtitle file in a text editor (or a subtitle editor) and verify that it only contains the “forced” lines.

Try The Hunt For Red October (1990).eng.forced.srt.
The part before the first . must be 100% identical to the file name of the video.
Then Refresh Metadata of the movie.

Before starting playback, you u need to select the subtitle which is marked as “forced”.

That worked thankyou good sir, I had to change the title name as well within the videos properties and not just the file name itself and now the subs are working the way I want them. :yum:
