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! :)
No problem, glad I could help :)
I agree this should be easier to find and set up.
