Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/11072

State: open
Merged: No


This PR offers some simple improvements for the automatic subtitle pre-selection in Jellyfin.

Please note: I am not familiar with the migration system, and mostly simply copied it from the previous migration of the Users table, however it does seem to work.

Changes

  • Codecs cannot be ranked uniquely by quality, as compatibility and styling quality are both factors, therefore the preferred codec is made configurable
  • The smart subtitle mode previously did not handle the forced flag very "smartly", this has been improved
