I noticed in the latest windows PMS server there’s a new flag for closed captioned subtitles. I didn’t know that was coming so i didn’t follow the discussion. But how does one actually use it. Seems like .cc.srt isn’t it (eg xxx.en.cc.srt) as the subtitle file i’m testing with is recognised as “unknown (SRT external)” instead of “English (Closed Captioned)” or whatever it’s supposed to be? Am i doing something wrong? ---

PMS 1.20.3.3401 or later required.

The hi flag is supported but not recommended as it’s also the language code for Hindi so to avoid any confusion it’s better to just use one of the other two. ---

Well considering i just updated to the latest release 1.20.3.3437 which newer than the one you mentioned, it’s not a version problem. Guess it’ll be a TV show problem then ---

These CC flags cannot be used with tv shows, yet. ---

That i got by now, here’s to hoping they’re added soon as it would solve a problem for me. As i currently have plex configured to show subtitles always. Ideally i’d like to configure plex to ALWAYS show them but ONLY if the language track is different from the audio preferred audio track. Eg: English audio, en + nl subs available \> only show nl subs English audio, en subs available \> don’t show subs Can’t figure that out on plex. ---
