How do I Permanently Enable Subtitles?

    Every time I want to watch a movie or TV show, I have to bring up the OSD, and tick the slider to Enable Subtitles. Annoying. Is there not a global "Subtitles Always Enabled" option? Something that affects all current videos and will also apply to all future videos.

    Or, a possible workaround, is there some way to set this property for each video via API? At least this way, I could cron job it nightly and it would fix any newly added videos.

    In LE11 Kodi settings can set defaults for subtitle preferences (language choice etc.). Now bring up video settings during playback and enable subtitles and 'set as default' for media.
