Default subtitle track, 2 of the same language

Postby Modinstaller » 27 Feb 2015 11:25

Hello

Is there any way to select a particular subtitle track as default when I have several tracks in the same language ?

I am watching an anime series and I can choose between 2 English sub tracks, one with only a few things subbed, the other with everything, but I haven't found a way to select the 2nd one as default, since when I type "English" in the settings, it selects the 1st track, when I want the 2nd one.

Unfortunately, you can either select by language, or by number.

If I can select the subtitles by number, how would I go about choosing the 2nd track ? That would be perfect, as the order never changes, and I always want the 2nd one.

For some reason I had to set the Subtitle Track ID to 4 to have the 2nd track as default. It's weird, but my problem is solved.
Thanks for your assistance.
