Is there any way to turn off Jellyfin's subtitle cache? Yesterday I
uploaded some subtitles for a movie. They were not really good, so I
wanted to replace them. Despite me removing them from the interface,
checking they were indeed removed, and then manually adding the new
ones, the old subtitles were still popping up.

I went crazy for about 20 minutes, checking the databases, manually
deleting the srt file, nothing working. Then I deleted the local cache
for the website on my browser, and it worked.

So Jellyfin had locally cached the old subtitles file on my computer,
and despite having a newer one, it was still using it to play the
movie.

Is there any way to modify this behavior server-side?

I think you could have just use the Rescan for Changed Metadata in the
three dots menu for the movie (or library).

Also tried that. Didn't work.
