Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently (Jellyfin 10.2.2) I have to chose audio and subtitle track for every episode when my preference (japanese audio with english subs) is not the file (or server?) defaults (english dub with english signs).

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if Jellyfin could be smart enough to remember the choice between episodes of the same series, at least as long as the available choices of the current episode matches the previous.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Preferably I would like a prioritized list of audio+subtitle language, taking original audio language into account.
I am however not sure of how hard/easy it would be to get the required metadata.

As an example, I would prefer something like this myself;

Audio Subtitle
original=eng none
original=nor none
original eng
original nor
eng signs=eng
eng none
nor signs=nor
nor signs=eng
nor none
any eng
any nor
any none

I've noticed this bug too, but in the form of them always turning back on when I turn them off.

I wouldn't say it is a bug - more a lack of features. Current behaviour is how most stand-alone media players would handle it too.

I figured I'd post this here too. The Jellyfin MPV Shim application has a feature where you can configure the subtitles for an entire season of TV at once.
