Plex Script to Automatically Change Audio/Subs on a Season
2 projects | /r/PleX | 22 Mar 2022

Ever since I was recommended this script for batch setting audio/subtitles on a show, I've used it religiously every time I'm about to start a new show to enable some specific subtitles or change the language. It's a super handy tool, but I'm lazy. I didn't want to remote into my plex server, manually run the script, find the right show/season, AND select the proper audio/subtitle streams every time. Luckily, I'm not only a lazy person; I'm also a bad programmer.
Force subtitles for just one tv series?

This might be useful. I'm not sure this is the right/current tool. I know there's something prebuilt out there but haven't done it myself. Someone else will probably chime in.
Suggestion: subtitles and audio track per show/series

As someone who's started collecting anime, a real limitation of PMS has reared its head

This may not be a perfect solution, but I personally use it per show for anime with .ass files and it does wonders. Allows setting which sub and audio track per season or for the whole show. https://github.com/gstacks13/plex_set_tracks
I wish I could set preferred languages for individual shows.
