Subtitle Track Selection

Small script that sets the correct subtitle via flags.

How it works

Subtitle Track Selection analyzes whether there are subtitles for the file (internal or external) and sets the most correct one via flag priority:

1. forced + default
2. forced
3. default
4. external (subtitles external to the file)

Info

In the case of multiple subtitles with the same priority (flag), the first one present will be set according to the order of the subtitles.
If there are only subtitles without flags, not only will they not be set, but they will also be deselected (in case mpv selects one automatically).
There is the possibility to enable or disable external subtitle control via script-message to the toggleExternal function (for manual use via console or to bind it to a key).

Installation

Place the Subtitle_Track_Selection.lua file into mpv scripts folder.
