Feature Request
Please add an option to automatically enable forced subtitles when they match the user's preferred subtitle language set in the app.
Expected Behavior
When a video starts:
- If a subtitle track is marked as
forced: true - And its language matches the user's default subtitle language (e.g. "uk" or "en")
- Then that subtitle track should be enabled automatically
Why This Matters
- Many users rely on forced subtitles for foreign-language scenes or accessibility.
- Enabling them manually each time is inconvenient, especially when the language is already set in preferences.
- This feature would improve usability and localization support, especially for multilingual content.
Suggested Implementation
- Add a toggle in subtitle settings:
Auto-enable forced subtitles in preferred language - On video start, check for subtitle tracks where:
forced == truelanguage == preferredSubtitleLanguage
- If found, activate that track automatically
Notes
This behavior should not override manual subtitle selections or force unrelated languages. It should only apply when a matching forced track exists.
Thanks for considering!
