Description

Steps to reproduce

Use a source that provides baked subtitles on sub content like anime there will be two sets of subtitles sometimes making it unreadable

Expected behavior

Being able to turn off subtitles for sub content in case subtitles are baked to prevent duplicate subtitles

Actual behavior

Subtitles covering each other and making it unreadable unless you adjust subtitle elevation which still results in duplicate subtitles which are annoying

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Reproduce playback on Android or FireStick OS with a source containing baked subtitles, then trace the app's subtitle handling and controls. Done means sub content with baked subtitles can avoid duplicate selectable subtitles without requiring subtitle elevation changes.
