Plex is selecting forced subtitles over regular subtitles

Plex Media Server
10

I already reported this faulty behaviour a few months ago in this topic: https://forums.plex.tv/t/non-forced-subtitles-not-default-anymore/

To make it short, this is my typical use-case for Movies:

Audio: ITA, ENG
SUBS: Forced ITA, Regular ITA, Regular ENG

My settings:

Preferred audio language: English
Preferred subtitle language: Italian
Subtitles behavious: Always enabled

The newer PMS versions would default as:

  • Audio: ENG
  • SUB: Forced ITA

This is NOT what I want, and I think Plex should default as:

  • Audio: ENG
  • SUB: Regular ITA

This is why I am stuck on version 1.16.3.1402, which is the last version that defaults with the correct behaviour.

I would LOVE to update, but this issue is annoying to say the least. Are there any updates on the subject? Thanks a lot.
