I am hoping someone might be able to provide some guidance here as I can’t seem to get this working… I have a movie stored in an mp4. I’ve set the audio track to English. When I run get info from within Plex it shows as English. When on the movie intro screen, it shows the Audio as English (AAC 5.1…

Did you also check the box to Auto select audio & subtitle tracks? Plex should pick the forced subtitles when the movie is added to your server. However, Plex remembers previous subtitle selections. So, if you manually choose another subtitle track, Plex will remember that selection the next time…

Thanks for this. I didn’t think about Plex having a memory on the selection. Let me play around with this. While trying to figure out why it wasn’t working, I definitely manually changed the subtitle selection. I am going to try removing the movie and adding it again to Plex to see what happens.

Thank you so much, I think everything is working now. Just needed to do the Plex Dance and now when I add the movie with the *.forced.en.srt it appears to be auto selected by Plex now. Thanks again, much appreciated
