Hello,
I've noticed that for some of my anime, Jellyfin doesn't honor the default subtitle track. On the Web UI I set preferred language to "English", and on a file that has 3 "English" subtitle tracks, it doesn't play the default.
For the file below, both Jellyfin Android TV and Jellyfin Media Player play #4 (PGS) instead of #6 (Dialogue@GJM), which is set as default and forced.
I have tried setting my preferred language to "Any Language," but it didn't help. I also tried "Search for missing metadata" and "Replace all metadata," but it didn't help.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
