Sutbtitles working fine and sudenly not showing anymore

Server Version#: 1.41.8.9834
Player Version#: 4.146.0

Hello, sorry for my poor level of English.

Short version:
Subtitles work correctly, but once or twice during a movie, they randomly stop displaying. Simply pausing and playing again (or skipping forward/backward 10 seconds) fixes the issue and the subtitles reappear.

Long version:
For over a year, I’ve had a Plex media server running on Debian 12, and my friends and I use various devices (web browser, Xbox, Firestick, etc.) to stream my media.
For as long as I can remember, regardless of updates, my friends and I have encountered a bug with subtitles — no matter the source (whether from a track inside the MKV file, from an external .srt file, or even when downloaded directly via the Plex web player using the “search” function).
Randomly, subtitles stop showing up — unless we pause and then play again.
With a remote or keyboard nearby, it’s not really a critical issue, but still noticeable.

I haven’t seen similar posts on the forum, so I’m wondering whether this is a known bug or if I’m the only one experiencing it — and possibly even I my causing it.

Thank you very much for reading.
And thank you so much for making this amazing platform work!

Looking forward to your response,
Matthieu Ghazarian
