Subtitle improvement request

[gryphon489]

i have 2 suggestions that i think would make the subtitles in plex more usable.

1. allow for subtitle settings to apply to seasons not just individual episodes or the entire library

2. allow for either user language labeling or detection of subtitle language to allow plex to more intelligently use or not use subtitles. (for whatever reason a bunch of my subtitles are labeled as unknown so the only way to enable them is manually per episode)

Adding Local Subtitles to Your Media

If the subtitles are embedded, tag them with the correct language using MKVToolNix or similar tools.

If external subtitles, use a language code in the file name. The file names must match for Plex to pick them up as subtitles.

Examples:

show_name - s01e01.mkv
show_name - s01e01.eng.srt

movie (year) [yabba.dabba.doo].mkv
movie (year) [yabba.dabba.doo].eng.srt

Item 1) has already been requested, so I’m moving this thread out of the feature request section.
