Note that clicking the update icon, the little circular arrow, will not suffice as that will only look for new items that need metadata and subtitles, not check all your existing media for subtitles. Select any and all libraries you wish to refresh with subtitles and look for the setting icon in the upper right corner. While all new media will get automatic subtitle downloads without any intervention on your behalf, you’ll need to trigger a refresh of your library so the OpenSubtitles agent will activate on all your old media. The issue is that Plex only activates the metadata agents when either 1) the media enters your collection for the first time or 2) you initiate a manual refresh of the individual item, the season/collection it is in, or the entire library. Pick any random show or movie from your collection and, in the library view of the Plex Media Server control panel, you’ll see entries like this everywhere: There are no subtitles to be found anywhere in the entries for your movies and TV shows. Now that you’ve set everything up you may have noticed something. Refresh Your Libraries to Download Subtitles Your OpenSubtitles language selection from the Movies section should persist, but double check it anyway by clicking on the settings gear beside the agent entry again.Īt this point, you’ve told Plex that you want it to automatically download subtitles for both movies and television shows through. By default, the only one checked is “Plex Movie”, the native Plex agent. Within the Agents settings menu, click on “Movies” then “Plex Movie” to see which agents are active and in what order they are accessed. While still in the Server menu from the last step, select “Agents” from the left hand navigation column. How to Enable Automatic Subtitle Downloads If your media doesn’t all have subtitles, though, you’ll need to perform another step to complete the puzzle. Finally, select your preferred subtitle language and then click “Save Changes”.Īt this point, Plex will automatically use subtitles-if it finds them. Most people will want to go with the former, but if you’re reading this article and use subtitles for all your shows, you’ll probably want to pick the latter. Under “Subtitle mode” you can set it to use subtitles only with foreign audio or with all media.
Confirm that the “Prefer audio track in” selection box is set to your preferred audio language. Within the Languages menu, you’ll find a single checkbox for “Automatically select audio and subtitle tracks”.
