Description

1. Restore default settings and restore to the original 0.9 firmware, startup and let it update to the latest firmware (1.0.1.16319 as of today)
2. Login and go to the media menu, note that global subtitles are disabled - don't touch the setting
3. Add some media with at least one subtitle track - let's say media A and media B
4. Play media A
[BUG]: note that subtitles are enabled
5. Go back to the global subtitles setting and turn it on and off again (toggle it, effectively doing nothing)
6. Play media B
Note that subtitles are disabled (because this media has no previous per-media subtitle enabled state)
7. Play media A
[BUG? RFE? Feature?]: Note that subtitles are enabled, since its persisting the per-media enabled state

So there is a workaround, but there is definitely a bug in there too.

Description	With 1.0.1.16319 a new global subtitles option was introduced (settings -> media -> subtitles). When I leave it alone in its default state of off, or if I toggle it on and then off again, it has no effect on any of my media: all media with subtitles will have subtitles enabled by default. During playback, I can still go in and disable the subtitles for that playback session, but if I start playback in some other media it will not use the global setting. This has made the addition of the global subtitles option useless in my case.	With 1.0.1.16319 a new global subtitles option was introduced (settings -> media -> subtitles).
