Forced Blu-ray subs

[infiniter]

Hello all! I got a problem to solve, hope you can help me.
I've reauthored a Blu-ray and also added some subs. They were edited in SubtitleEdit, then exported as Blu-ray subs and all set as forced in the export dialog and then muxed into the main movie M2TS. Later I edited the Blu-ray with BDEdit, to make the subs' language match the selected audio language. I also checked the BDMV folder with BDtoAVCHD's stream checker and it found the subs flagged as forced. Then I burnt the Blu-ray to a BD-RE and played it on my PS4. Everything is fine, except for the forced subs not showing up.

I think I missed something. Just by having a track with forced subs in the main movie stream does not make them appear, because the player does not "know" they're there. I presume in the movie setup (BDMV control commands) there has to be something flagging that subtitle as "this one contains forced subs".

Am I right or what else went wrong here?
Thanks in advance for helpful tips.

This is correct. The concept of forced subtitles on BD is a little strange.

The MovieObject commands need to set the number of the subtitle stream - but not turn it on.

For example,
SetStream PG 1 OFF will select PG stream 1 and will only show the "forced" subtitles.
SetStream PG 1 ON will show all the subs in the stream.

OK, thanks, I'll try.

Update: it worked. The were already two SetStream commands included in the MovieObject, but they were not setting that particular subtitle track to OFF. After I changed that, the forced subs showed up (PowerDVD 13).
Thanks again.
