Hi all,
I’ve been using Infuse (lifetime) with a Plex Server (lifetime) in Direct Mode without issues until recently. I’ve noticed the following subtitle behavior and I’m not sure whether this is due to a misconfiguration or a limitation in Infuse.
I have a TV show with multiple episodes; some episodes include forced subtitles, while others do not.
On the Plex Server, I explicitly select the correct audio track and subtitle track for each episode (forced or none).
When playing the show on Apple TV using the Plex app, subtitles behave correctly: forced subtitles are displayed only when needed, fully respecting the selections made on the Plex Server.
When playing the same content using Infuse, I observe this behavior:
-
If the first episode has forced subtitles, all subsequent episodes automatically show the first available subtitle track, even if it is not forced and was not selected on the Plex Server.
-
After manually disabling subtitles for an episode in Infuse, if the following episode actually contains forced subtitles, Infuse keeps the previous “subtitles off” state and does not enable the forced subtitles automatically.
The Plex client behaves as expected in all cases.
Is this expected behavior in Infuse?
Are there any subtitle-related settings (global or per-library) that could affect this, or is forced-subtitle handling currently limited when using Plex in Direct Mode?
