"Fury" Subtitles

Has anybody watched Fury from the K store?

By default, the movie plays with no subtitles; even the scenes with German don't have subtitles.

If I set the subtitles to English, I get subtitles for both English and German scenes. It doesn't seem possible to get subtitles for German, but not English.

I also have the Blu-ray, but I haven't tried it, yet.

I suspect this is related to the player not recognizing forced subtitles. I've noticed that subtitles aren't always handled properly on multi-language films.
 
I've done that, but it still doesn't work correctly. I have "Show English subtitles when the audio is not English" selected. The problem is that the audio track is English, so the player selects no subtitles and the German-speaking scenes also have no subtitles.

I just tried out the "Play Disc" option from the Blu-ray disc. Using the disc menu, the default is the English audio track and no subtitles. When the German-speaking scenes come on, English subtitles are displayed, even though subtitles are turned off.

Most likely, there are "Forced subtitles" flags on the English subtitle track that are being properly recognized with the "Play Disc" option, but ignored with the "Play Movie" option.
 
Hello baltz,

Please PM me with the serial number of your server and the specific player you are testing with, and I will investigate further.

Thanks,
Andy
 
Any resolution for this issue? Just curious as to the cause, if we know it now.
 
I had similar issue and support had me do the following settings in language.

My preferred language is English
Movie Audio
I prefer to hear movies in their original language.
Subtitles & Closed Captions
Show English subtitles when the audio is not English.
 
Yep, that sounds right as far as setup is concerned. Baltz's issue seemed related to a particular title, and maybe it wasn't working as we would expect it to under the circumstances. Hopefully, support was able to sort out baltz's issue for him, as well.
 
I had the same problem with Fury download. My players had Preferred language set to None. The above settings fixed the Forced Subtitle problem.
 
Ah, excellent. So you mean that proper setup matters? ;):D Who'da thunk it.
