How to refresh the specified media library file through the API

[terse 1]

How can I refresh the media library file of a movie through the API, not the media metadata. For example, when I add a subtitle file or a new version to this movie, I need to update the media library file of the movie folder to get this update instead of metadata.
The endpoint I am trying now is:
url = f"{EMBY_URL}/emby/Items/{movie_id}/Refresh"
params = {
"MetadataRefreshMode": "Default",
"ImageRefreshMode": "Default",
"ReplaceAllImages": "false",
"ReplaceAllMetadata": "false",
"Recursive": "true",
}

But it only refreshes the metadata, please help me

I don't really follow as that is what the web client uses.

As you see it reprobes the media file.

Sorry, I checked the log and found that it was indeed updated, but the subtitle file did not appear. Multiple versions of movies cannot match the same subtitle file. My file name is as follows:
/Movies
/movie name
movie name-edition1.mp4
movie name-edition2.mp4
movie name.spa.1.srt
movie name.spa.2.srt

I tested and found that only the subtitle file named movie name-edition1.spa.1.srt , movie name-edition1.mp4 will recognize this subtitle. How can I make multiple versions of movies recognize the same subtitle file?

@terseyou need to copy the subtitle files and assign them to each version independently. This is because even though they are the same movie, each version may require different timings.
