I'm really struggling with getting subtitles to work, mainly that I can not find an option for them anywhere when playing a video.
The video I'm playing is in an mkv container, if I play it in VLC I can go to the subtitle menu and select from several different languages including English (which is what I want).
In Jellyfin however, no subtitles show at all (in any langauge) and there is no option anywhere that I can see to pick a subtitle.
In the client settings for subtitles I have tried selecting English as the preferred language, and subtitle mode to always play, but I still do not get any subtitles.
In the server dashboard under Playback->Transcoding I have tried turning both on and off the "Allow subtitle extraction on the fly" setting.
In the user settings under Media playback, the first four options are enabled to allow transcoding.
I'm using Jellyfin Server 10.9.1 running on Windows.
I'm using the Jellyfin windows application on the client, version 10.9.1.
I have also tried playing it on my TV with Google TV with the Jellyfin App, as well as on my Android phone. In all cases, there is no option to select subtitles.
I've also tried installing the Subtitle Extract plugin and allowing it to run the scheduled task overnight.
Clearly I'm missing something, can someone please point out to me how to get subtitles to work?
