Subtitle issues when casting from Android

Plex Players

This is not ASS specific issue. Happens to SRT too. (probably all subtitle formats)

  • playing in plex web, subtitles are OK
  • casting from plex web, subtitles are OK
  • playing in android app, subtitles are OK
  • casting from android app, no subtitle showing

I see the correct subtitle is auto picked before playing media.
Same for both embedded and external subtitles.
App version 2025.15.0 (966828394)
Server version 1.41.6.9685

@MIvanIsten This issue was about originally playback on android. not casting. What are you casting to?

To Chromecast 3

There is some progress with 2025.18.0
Subtitles showing when casting from android, but settings (size, color, etc) are ignored.

Moved this to a new topic since the other was about playing on android itself.
