Hi Infuse team,
I’m encountering a frustrating issue with forced subtitles when watching HDR content on my Apple TV 4K 2nd gen (paired with an OLED display). I pay and am using the latest version of Infuse Pro, and I really enjoy the app — but this issue has become quite distracting.
Specifically:
*When forced subtitles (e.g., for foreign-language dialogue) appear, they are blindingly white in HDR. This is very harsh and distracting on OLED screens, where contrast is extreme.
These forced subs appear automatically, which is great, but the problem is that:
- They do not show up as a selectable track — the subtitle menu shows “None” selected.
- This prevents the right-hand styling panel from opening (text size, colour, transparency, etc).
- Even if I select a full subtitle track (e.g., English) and set it to a styled grey/transparent look, the forced subtitles still display separately and brightly on top, with no styling applied.
There seems to be no way to access or control how forced subtitles are rendered — unlike full subtitle tracks, where styling works well.
What I’ve Tried:
- Customising Apple TV’s system subtitle style (no effect).
- Manually selecting a full English subtitle track and setting styling (does not override forced sub rendering).
- Looking for a “forced subtitles” toggle or styling option in Infuse settings — none available.
Request:
Could you please consider adding one or more of the following:
- A setting to control forced subtitle appearance (colour, size, transparency).
- The ability to style forced subtitles using the Apple TV subtitle styling engine.
- An option to disable or override forced subtitles entirely, if desired.
This issue makes HDR content hard to enjoy comfortably.
