Plex doesn't select non-forced sub

A little too new for the visual pollution I normally go for - and it almost always has to happen in space, came from space, or wants to go back to space, after generally making a nuisance of itself…

lol

You have to be a Dick Miller Fan and that’s the long and short of it:

Came across this issue again.

Really wish Plex would give us an option to separate external subs from Local Media Assets so that I could choose the sub bazarr downloaded instead of what’s inside the video file.

I’m a little late, but I was the one that brought the issue up in the first place, and I have not received a definitive answer yet. But, if I read this topic correctly, I agree with @OttoKerner on subtitles behaviour.

And that’s why I’m not updating my server since I discovered the (at this point I can only assume) unintended behaviour that acts exactly as I want it to.

I’m italian and I have set my preferred audio language to “english” and my preferred subtitle language to “italian”. 95% of my movies are with double audio (ita-eng) and 3 subtitle tracks (forced ita, regular ita, regular eng).

If I select the english audio track (which is also the default one), Plex defaults the regular italian subtitles, which is what I want. If I select the italian audio track, Plex defaults the forced italian subtitles, which is also what I want.

I have not updated my server since the time of that original topic, and I don’t think my preferred behaviour came back with any following update. I wish.
