Description
Hi,
I'm using mpv v0.24 on Ubuntu Linux and I would like two display a secondary subtitle knowing that the subtitles SIDs provided by youtube are not always in the same order.
Therefore the --secondary-sid option does not help because I do NOT know the SID number before actually playing the video with mpv :
Here is the example URL : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS2mzHP1Cx4
Can you please consider my idea ?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the example YouTube URL and reviewing how --secondary-sid selects subtitle tracks. The issue names no source file or test, so trace subtitle track discovery and option handling before defining the expected behavior. Done means a secondary subtitle can be selected without knowing its SID in advance, with coverage for differing YouTube SID orders.
