My best guess is this:

The other video may have had an embedded track marked "forced" which would have made it impossible for you to select another one.

So you mean a track that I wouldn't have seen when I used MKVToolnix? I did use that utility to delete all the existing subtitle tracks and then redid the MKV file with only mine. I guess just something weird with the Roku Emby player, as all other players like the web or Android Emby app played my subtitles fine.

Same thing, and it didn't show my new subtitles that I added.

It was showing a subtitles for hearing impaired or something, like sound effects "ELECTRICAL HUMMING" etc. and then not showing the foreign subtitles that I added in there. It was just saying "(SPEAKING YAUTJA)"
