Can't disable default subtitles when streaming

Postby morespray » 23 Mar 2014 11:00

I previously reported this in the VLC trac - 10424 - but it appeared to be an issue with my streaming server (Subsonic). Recently I had another look at this while enabling VLC logs and I can see that there is a seperate stream for subtitles and when the 'default' flag is set on it's not possible to disable the subtitles, i.e. no T icon appears on the VLC interface.
Subsonic is not transcoding the file, but obviously something is getting in the way. I would appreciate if any one with better understanding can advise what's going on and whether the bug/enhancement should be for VLC or Subsonic. I'm having troubles to register with their support forums or I would have gone to them directly.

Below is an extract from the VLC log, I can attach/link the full file if I've trimmed too much.
With 'default' flag on subtitles set on:

With 'default' flag on subtitles set off (I've used mkvmerge to toggle the 'default' flag):
