Has anyone else noticed a problem with #plex subtitles on ad supported content? I was watching a foreign language film with subtitles and every time it went to an ad break Plex would disable the subtitles and the only way to get them back was to go to playback settings and turn the subtitles off and on each time. This is extremely annoying to have to do this, considering how many ad breaks they insert into the average film on this platform.

@sudoaptgetlife @plex Plex does not decide which ads are shown. It sends a request to the ad network, gets an ad, plays it and the reports back to network (that the ad was played). Also @plex doesn't seem like an official account.
