Forced Subtitles?

[karibi 0]

Sorry but this a newbie question. I have the latest version of emby running on my QNAP NAS. One frustration I have is that when I watch English movies I would like to force English subtitles when watching foreign language scenes. For example, in the Last Samuri, some of the dialogue is in Japanese and at that point I would like to English subtitles to be automatically displayed.

Am I asking the impossible?

I have enabled the Open Subtitles plug in and the SRT files have been downloaded. I have not limited the download to ‘Forced subtitles only’ 

In some movies, Allied for example, I can get the English subtitles to be continuous displayed but as soon as there is a foreign language scene the captions are lost which is exactly the opposite to what I want.

Any guidance would be appreciated before my wife kills me
 

Thanks

Hi.  You need to look for subtitles for your items that are marked as "Forced".  Then, I would suggest setting your default subtitle mode to "Smart" and setting your preferred audio and subtitle languages.

That should then automatically show you forced subs when available.
