Please describe your bug

It seems that subtitles / captions in Live-TV can not be disabled. They appear on every channel that has them enabled. No [CC] control in the player anywhere.

Reproduction Steps

Kodi 10.9.6
Create TV Tuner using a file with below content:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="ZDF HD" tvg-id="ZDF.de" group-title="IPTV-DE" tvg-logo="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jnk22/kodinerds-iptv/master/logos/tv/zdfhd.png",ZDF HD

I can acknowledge. If you look at the given stream, it contains:

[...]
#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="T1-510682780",NAME="Untertitel deutsch",CODECS="wvtt",LANGUAGE="deu",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="https://zdf-hls-15.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016498/de/23ce7d09760ca6fef4b6d59aee85b3c1/8/8.m3u8"

#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="T1-1266820252",NAME="Untertitel deutsch",CODECS="wvtt",LANGUAGE="deu",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="https://zdf-hls-15.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016498-b/de/23ce7d09760ca6fef4b6d59aee85b3c1/8/8.m3u8"
[...]

I guess AUTOSELECT=YES means that by default subtitles are enabled. With vlc the subtitles can be disabled/enabled.
