Kodi 17.4 / Windows 10
Movies that have external (srt) subtitles have them properly named according to language, as movietitle.en.srt; movietitle.pt.srt etc.
On the main installation (interface language: English) Portuguese_Brazilian is selected as preferred subtitle language.
If a movie that has both English and Portuguese subtitles is played, the later is automatically chosen, as expected.
Also, it's possible to toggle to the other language.
On the client installation, which accesses the main one through UPnP, interface language is also English and Portuguese_Brazilian is also set as preferred subtitle language.
However, if a video that has both English and Portuguese subtitles is played on the client, the English one is presented, in disregard to the setting.
And if one tries to toggle (the windows shows the current one is correctly identified as eng) it's not possible to change.
If a movie has only one external subtitle, it is presented, even if it's not identified as English.
Tried to change interface language on each side, and both sides, to Portuguese_Brazilian but no way - movietitle.en.srt is the subtitle that plays and it's not possible to toggle.
Is it a bug or is there something that can be done?
