Netflix has it’s own logic for setting audio and subtitle tracks that I don’t fully understand, previously the approach was either force the original, or try not to influence the choice.
Seems like netlfix does remember the user’s audio and subtitle choice for a particular show.
I took another look, the ‘force original’ option seems to be working as intended actually.
Two issues I can see:
– When the extension is switched on, and ‘force subs’ is off, and no subs were selected in netflix previously, the main subs will load in the translation language. This is hard to avoid. Once a sub is set, with ‘force subs’ setting off, it should be ‘sticky’ though, so not a big issue.
– ASR is disabled on every episode change… in the summer it was hot and the servers were overheating, this was an effort to try to keep the load under control. I can change that so ASR is kept on when switching episodes at least.
Will have another think tomorrow. In addition to ‘Force Original’ there could be ‘Force [language]’, that always tries to set, say, Spanish, if the extension is enabled.
