Status of external subtitle files not correctly reported
See original GitHub issue.srt files are incorrectly reported as not indexed by Plex even though they may be. If there’s a way to determine whether Plex is using these, then this should be fixed. Otherwise, perhaps a command-line option to ignore external subtitle files would be more convenient than a generic “exclude” option as proposed in #1?

Yeah sorry that link was for my own reference when I go to try and fix this.
Despite being indexed internally, the file path of the subtitles is not included in the API responses…
That’s unfortunate. It means we have to try to mirror Plex’s behavior here to mark a file as being used.
