Strange subtitle behavior

Chromecast with Google tv, I am using the Android TV OS I am not chromecasting in this case.

When I change the color to anything but white, it continues to display the external SRT subtitles in white.

At first I assumed it was transcoding, but according to the playback info it is direct play.

Next, I assumed that it was pulling the pgs file instead of the srt, so I switched to the pgs to see if maybe that would make it switch to the srt, but when I switch to the pgs the appearance of the subtitles changes slightly, so I don’t think it’s pulling the pgs.

I also can’t quite figure out how to get logs from Android TV on Chromecast. In the settings menu, it gives me a URL at the bottom that says this is where the logs are, but I tried typing that into my browser and it didn’t go anywhere.

I will send the server logs however

SOLUTION: I had “high contrast text” turned on in the Android TV system settings. Turned it off, subs went back to custom colors.
