Currently one can say if they want subtitles to be enabled or disabled for a specified language. This isn’t great usability if
a) one doesn’t want subtitles on for that series (say when I watch jeopardy, dont want spoilers as I play along)
b) it has multiple subtitles for said language (forced, regular, sdh…) so it picks just the first one.
While one can manually change it each time one watches an episode, this is annoying, it be nice if in a series plex was able to remember the subtitle used (or not used) on previous episode watched.
Sometimes some episodes have subtitles and some don’t, so I wouldn’t change if there is no subtitle, only if the user manually chose a different one.
ok, that seems to help for disabling subtitles in jeopardy, but unsure it helps when I want english subtitles by default, but it always picks the wrong one and it should be able to learn that I always select a different one at a common index.
If this is local or embedded subtitles, make sure they’re properly tagged. Plex supports/reads tags from embedded subtitles for forced and SDH subtitles (same for local subtitles if the files are named properly).
In that case Plex should pick up the regular or forced subtitles according to your account preferences. If you have more of each, Plex won’t be able to distinguish them.
hmm, never paid close to attention to mkvtoolnix but I do it see it has “hearing impaired flag” (presume for SDH) “visually impaired flag” (presumambly for audio description tracks), unsure what “test description” is (probably another possibility for SDH?).
How does plex distinguish between SDH and non SDH subtitles? (I still think it select same track as previous episode, but this could be useful for me as it is)
