Description of the bug

When playing a media file that has an English default and forced subtitle track, the English (SDH) track is selected by default instead (Preferred Subtitle Language is set to English).

Reproduction steps

Just play a file with multiple subtitles including English (SDH) (non-default) and another English track set as default and forced, the client defaults to the SDH track instead (Preferred Subtitle Language is set to English).

What is the current bug behavior?

The English (SDH) subtitle is selected instead of the default English subtitle.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The English subtitle which is set as default should be selected instead.
