For MP4's, you can modify track language with Subler (though I think that's a Mac-only app).Latest Regular Threads: No Stupid Q&A: Tool Tuesday: Build Help: Share Your Build: Submit Troubleshooting Post Files not showing up correctly? So even in my example above, your audio track language would still have to be set to English before Plex would automatically play forced english subtitles. Note that with BOTH options, you HAVE to make sure your audio language track is set to the same language as your forced subtitles. The "srt" is the file extension for the subtitles (I'm not sure what, if any, subtitles Plex will play other than srt files). You can use either a 2-character or 3-character code. In the above example, "eng" is the language code for English. The subtitle filename should match the movie filename exactly, but with the language code and forced added to the end, separated by periods. In that case, you need to name the file properly, and it has to be saved in the same folder as the movie (when I need to do this, I create a folder just for that movie, named the same as the film, with the film and subtitle file saved in there). Your other option is to save the subtitles externally to the movie file. MKVToolNix is crowd favorite for making changes like this-it'll let you modify the track language for both the audio and subtitle tracks, and it'll let you set the forced flag for subtitles. MP4's have a Forced flag option, but Plex ignores it. At this time, MKV files are the only ones where Plex will recognize the Forced flag in the file. If you're using MKV files, you can embed the subtitles in the file, but you HAVE to turn on the "Forced" flag for that subtitle track, and you have to make sure that your audio track language and your forced subtitle track language are both set to English (or whatever language). There are 2 ways to setup Forced subtitles to make Plex automatically play them. And if you think your audio and subtitle track languages are set correctly, double check because it may be that they're named "English" but the language itself was left set to "Unknown" (you can name tracks whatever you want, regardless of the language assigned). That'll be the case regardless of whether your forced subtitles are embedded in an MKV or stored externally. If your audio track language in the file isn't the same as your forced subtitles, then the forced subtitles won't ever play. It's also possible your language settings weren't correct in the file. I'd still double check your device settings outside of Plex though, just to be sure it's set correctly. Since then, they've updated the Plex app on Roku to have an option right in the app to enable that setting. When I first discovered this, the Closed Caption option was buried deep in my Roku TV's settings, in a spot that was less than obvious. Without that enabled, the only option was burning them in. The issue turned out to be that Roku (at least the Roku TV) had it's own built-in Closed Caption setting that needed to be enabled before apps like Plex would display any subtitle streams.
