It's official: Plex have so enshittified their web player that there is now no way to turn on subtitles.
So all the foreign language films I had bookmarked on Plex, I guess I'll be watching somewhere else. Great job!
#NowWatching Tai Chi Master (1993) on Fawesome instead

EDIT: looks like it may be just that film; e.g. Throne of Blood does have subs
Looks like it's just that film so far. Watched Throne of Blood yesterday and subs *are* available for that, but still not for Tai Chi Master.
They were a bit delayed but the FastStream browser extension recommended by @asj fixed that
Once I sorted the subs issues, I had a great time watching Tai Chi Master!
Plex also has Wing Chun (1994), also by Yuen Woo-ping with Michelle Yeoh, another on my watch list
FastStream has OpenSubtitles search built-in. I tried several with Plex Tai Chi Master but they were all off.
Now I know how to adjust their timing in FastStream, I'll try again if I find another film without subs, or with bad subs (the subs for Ossessione 1943 on Plex are terrible in BOTH English & Italian)
Tried FastStream but in the end I'm doing as much work as if I was trying to match a video from P2P with trawling the web for subs
Search OpenSubtitles, press Search, choose an option (from 48 pages of options!), load it, close all the pop-ups so I can actually see the subs, see they aren't right, repeat the 5 previous steps until getting subs that match. (I quit after the 3rd failure.)
But I'll keep the extension & try it out in other situations. Thanks.
Watched Throne of Blood on Plex yesterday. Subs were available in Plex player, but 1.5-2 seconds late. So I fired up FastStream & used its sub timing arrows. Problem solved! 👍
Took some screenshots using the inbuilt tool, but can't find them for the life of me 😆
