Foreign film subtitle preferences

[OttoKerner]

There are already feature requests which relate to that

More options for favored language // Mod: primary, secondary language preference

It would be great to have the option to select at least two favored languages for media. For example 1. norwegian, 2. english this way my dual audio (jap/eng) anime would select english, while media with norwegian audio/subs would be prefered where available

Subtitles, Auto enabled only for forced option, or assume unknown audio is the selected language

Seems no matter what I try there is no way to only ever automatically activate forced subtitles. Due to many video files having “unknown” audio and that plex seems to treat that as foreign audio many videos are getting subs enabled needlessly, and thus forcing transcoding on many clients.

[Implemented] Control subtitles on a per-series basis

I would love for a way to change all the default subtitles in a TV series at once. In the language settings, I have it to automatically enable subtitles if foreign audio is detected, however it sometimes displays subtitles for my purely-english shows anyways.

[request] When multiple streams are detected of the same language prioritize the one marked default

Hi, Right now when plex encounters multiple streams of the same language code it picks the first one it seems. It would be nice if the default flag (when available) is used to add extra weight to the track selection and choose this one over the other. I am mainly asking this because I have movies with multiple dutch audio streams, yet one is Dutch and the other is Flemish (Dutch dialect spoken in Belgium) The latter is also marked as default in the mkv container. But PLEX always chooses the n…
