One of my biggest gripes with Plex is the inability to force subtitles for managed users. I have family members who are elderly that need subtitles and it’s hard for them to constantly choose a subtitle for every movie or show they watch. Similar to how the main accounts user profile can choose if they want subtitles to always choose, what language, etc. If this already exists, please do let me know. Thank you.

> No, that is not possible. However: Would I be wrong to assume, that you have set up this second library for another user whose preferred language is different than yours? If that is the case, then you only need to set up this user’s automatic track selection in the right way. (Or at least help him/her to make these selections) These language preferences are stored in the each user’s [plex.tv](http://plex.tv) account. Regular [plex.tv](http://plex.tv) users must set this for themselves here: [https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/sett…](https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/account)

> Basically as the title says. I created a Home User for my TV. I have it setup exactly the same way as my admin account, but for some reason it never auto selects the subtitles for me. It works for my main account, but none of the Home User accounts seem to work. If anyone know of a fix, please that would be awesome, I watch everything with subtitles and its very annoying to have to select it every time.

Apparently this has been an issue for a long time
