I noticed with v19, Kodi no longer enables subtitles by default when it used to in v18.
This is happening to old shows with existing, downloaded subs and new shows with newly downloaded subs.
The manual steps I've tried:
Player settings > Language and Accessibility:
Set preferred language to English. Enable hearing-impaired subtitles.
Kodi OSD:
Enable subtitles for a show I'm watching, and then set it as "default for all media".
I'm using subtitle addons to download subs from OpenSubtitle, Addi7ed, Subscene, Podnapisi.
When I manually download missing subs using Kodi OSD, the subs are downloaded in English so my preferred language setting is working.
I can see in my show's folder that the subs are labeled .eng.srt so in theory according to how Kodi works—set preferred language, Kodi displays subs labeled in said laguage—my subtitles should be enabled by default.
