I checked on that one and as far as I can see...there are forced subs....forget everything I posted before if you already read it

You are saying on the Apple Plus " Tehran" you are getting forced subs? If so I have to download it again to see, I sure didn't even see the option when I downloaded it. ( forget the Screenshot below, I didn't see where you posted that it wasn't from Stream Fab. Thanks Jim.

I dont see them at all, please tell me exactly what you are seeing and where?

[jimc115]

You are correct....I didn't watch the episode, just grabbed it and checked the MediaInfo.
I does state FORCED but they appear even when English is spoken....so this is an Apple problem.

So now you're back to the option I had posted before...You can watch the episodes, noting the times for the English speaking parts and delete them from the SRT file.
Then, save the SRT file and mux it back in. It would be a pain, but once done....it's a permanent solution.

I also checked the Blu-Ray for Season One....English Sub are HARDCODED....so that won't help you any

Again...I did NOT grab the episode using Streamfab, so it is NOT a Streamfab problem.

Thank you, Jim, you are a great help. I am going to wait, Fab said they would have a fix soon, so since I can watch it on Apple + with subs but I cant download it with forced subs, I'll wait until Fab cab fix it. I am so mixed up. LOL, thanks bro.

Good Luck!

This is the first time I've seen this happen with Apple. I don't mind the forced subs, but can't stand the subs on the entire episode..too distracting.
I guess if you need them you get use to it.

I feel the exact same way. And this series of forced subs are an absolute must-have or you cannot understand anything unless you speak Arabic, which I don't.

any timeline when this will be fixed

For HBOnow popup "Due to the upgraded DRM encryption, videos on this website can only be downloaded at 720p" problem:

It is an known issue. We still need time for a fix.
