Direct play ruins subtitles (srt) on new Plex app "Plex for Windows"

Not entirely correct.
Given ANY mkv which has external subtitles. (audio track is irrelevant)
Attempt to Direct Play that with Plex-1.4.0 and enable the external subtitle track
Issue: The video will be direct-played BUT the subtitle is not present. If there is an built-in subtitle in the mkv, that subtitle might be played instead.

So two scenarios:

  1. There are only external subtitles available = No subtitle is showing.
  2. There are both internal and external subtitle available = An internal subtitle will show (not the selected one, if auto enable subtitle is on in settings)

Note: If I manually pick a quality so the stream gets transcoded, then the external subtitle works fine.
