I recently tried this on my setup, two Roku clients and a plex server. Despite my best efforts I could not get subtitles to work unless I had an account signed in with the preferred subtitle options configured for the account.

Being hard of hearing, subtitles are a big deal. I wonder if this is an ADA violation?

It'll probably get answered with "Oops, this is an app bug and it's best if you log in anyway!"

What if you change the global accessibility settings to prefer subtitles? (Or just set SDH/CC somewhere in system settings) I know on Google/Android TV and Apple TV it default-enables subtitles in some apps.
