Description
I'm using the last shinchiro build (0.35.0.511) on Windows 11, but this was already happening with an older version I was using (0.34.0.436). I tested with no scripts and no config, except:
watch-later-options=start,vid,aid,sid
save-position-on-quit
What is happening: I open the MKV file (with embedded subtitles) for the first time, and no subtitle is selected. Then I select a subtitle (1). I close MPV (to save the watch later options) and then open the file again. Now subtitle 1 is selected, but it doesn't show. If I select the next subtitle (2), it starts showing subtitles, and then I can select subtitle 1 again. It works only after doing that.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the MKV case on Windows with watch-later-options=start,vid,aid,sid and save-position-on-quit, then trace the subtitle selection restored on reopen; done means the restored embedded subtitle displays without switching to another track first.
