By default, english subtitles shouldn't display if the audio track is english.
The default value for the "Audio/subtitle language priority" setting for English users is:

Code: Select all

eng,off;*,eng;*,und
Which means:
If the audio is English, turn subtitles off. If the audio is anything else, display either English or Undefined subtitles.

Edit: I just tested and subtitles are incorrectly displaying so it seems the Audio/subtitle language priority setting is not working as intended.

Yesterday I played subtitles in Radio and it worked 8-)
Now seriously. What about to write more info? What renderer used??? If renderer supports subtitles, UMS will not burn them into the picture but send them as is (I suppose Audio/Sub settings is not taken into account in this case).
If it is your case (Samsung TV, PanTV,...), you have to disable them on TV. UMS sends separate subs only, TV is the culprit which loads them.

It's likely that the subtitle file has not defined its language
