Oh, I thought we were talking about Jellyfin's "extract subtitles on the fly when playing", which I think is how it works by default, which is what I described before.

If it's a async process that runs on import/update of the library, that sounds great. I'm guessing we're/you're talking about Bazarr then? Although I don't see it explicitly mentioned in this thread earlier. Or some other application?

There's an official plug-in called "Subtitle Extract" that does it in advance, no need for Bazarr :)

You can use this and then block embedded subtitles on a per-library basis, which is what I vaguely described a couple of posts up.

    Uuuh, where has that been all this time?! And also, why isn't this the default behavior in core or at least optionally so, rather than a somewhat hidden plugin?! Fake outrage aside, thank you for the pointer. I did read it above, thought it was talking about something else, re-read it now and actually understood it, thanks for sticking with it! :)
