set default language for subtitles (avoid forced subs) - NicoTchoum - 2019-09-24
hello everyone,
I set default subtitles on my language "french" but when a file also contains another subtitle track "french - forced", kodi choose this on instead of "french"
does somebody knows if there is a way to set default to complete subtitles instead of forced subs (or ignore "forced")
thanks

Nothing has changed in Kodi for this "problem".
You have a video file that has a forced subtitle stream, it still takes precedence over Kodi's setting.
Personally I strip all unnecessary subtitles from video files and use external subtitles only, that also avoids problems like the above. Using batch files this can do this to several video files pretty easily.

Thank you for the hint. Will do that as well.
