and i have another 5 files similar to this part of a TV Series. Why every time i start to watch an episode i need to enable the SUBTITLE manually if this enabled as FORCED ?

It's this feature currently BUGGED ?

Someone can post some info ?

My guess is because the subs have no language in metadata.
Always read the Kodi online-manual, the FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail Kodi Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules (wiki).
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

In order for forced subtitles to work, it must match the language of the audio track being played. If there is a mismatch, it will not automatically display. There are workarounds: one is an add-on: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...ce+Manager

The other is to change the language of the forced subtitle to be the same as the audio track, even if it is incorrect.
