I am playing Avatar (2009) using an external subtitle file (Avatar (2009).eng.forced.srt). Everything direct plays on my Nvidia Shield, however, the subtitle language being displayed is not English. I’ve played the same movie and subtitle file on Roku. Everything direct plays on that device as well…

Good hint! @jacoband12 could you try the workaround described in the thread? I found a workaround by duplicating my srt, it seems 2nd srt is then loading 2nd sub which is my 1st srt, so it does the job. If this works, we know it is the same issue and I can report this to the developers.
