Forced subtitle flag recognized but defaults to off

[cybergrimes 93]

Hey there,

 

Earlier I finished ripping some new Blu-rays including a few with forced PGSSUB for foreign language scenes. I loaded everything up but quickly realized I forgot the forced flag in the MKV, so I used MakeMKV to flip the flag on 4 of these files where forced subs were present. One of the files, the one I was watching when I realized my mistake, still defaults to off despite the flag being changed. I tried rescanning library, removed the file altogether and readding and even tried setting the sub track to 'default yes' but no matter what it's still coming back as 'off' when I go to watch the movie. The other 3 movies default to 'Eng Forced' when I click into them. Same on mobile device too.

 

Any thoughts?

Have you explored your emby user subtitle preferences?

[cybergrimes 93]

Yes same settings as always, subtitle mode is "Only forced subtitles" which are the only kind I ever include in my BR rips

Actually, maybe I'm just expecting too much/overthinking it-- I just now flipped it to 'Eng Forced' before watching it and I'm now seeing it default to that track on all my devices.

Like I said, I think it was just stuck on 'off' from when I watched it a little bit before changing the forced flag to yes.

In addition to the settings we also remember your selection for each individual video, so that must be what happened.

Thanks, I was just worried about other users. All makes sense now.
