Subtitle color has no effect on hdr

I’m running plex 9.12.2.36964 on a Shield tv pro 2019 and whatever I do the subtitle color is white when playing hdr content.

I’ve double checked that the video isn’t transcoding and that it’s a text based subtitle (srt) with no color styling in the subtitle itself. I’ve even checked “override included subtitle styling” for good measure.

Whatever I do, the text is eye searingly white.

Here’s a log from me first playing a file with HDR and then playing a file without HDR.

I’ve also noticed that it’s not just the subtitle color that doesn’t work with HDR. All subtitle styling (position, size, background et.c.) have no effect. All working with SDR.

Tried the Android app on my S22+. Subtitle styling works correctly there.

Tested beta 9.13.0.37163 and it has the same issue.

Some sort of response would be nice.

Still an issue and not a single reponse. Remind me why I’m paying for plex pass again?
