Add option to disable subtitles by default

Some users would like to see this behavior on iOS as it is also possible on the desktop.

added Beginner friendly Minor + 1 deleted label

Going to give this a go.

Sure.

But it is a tricky.

added Feature label

@chamander made a solid go at this in !236 (closed) but the MR languished and was closed.

@jbk 's last comment was:

For me, the goal is a dropbox: with "None and then the language preferred"

It can also be a checkbox Yes/No + a dropbox.

But this is a nice addition.

I'd really like to see this option added to the app and would consider taking it on. I often find myself disabling subtitles and can only imagine the number of human interactions with VLC's settings every day across the globe disabling subtitles.

Before getting started I'd like to know what the requirements are. @jbk's last comment complimenting the work @chamander had done seems to suggest that it was largely sufficient as a UX.

Is that correct?

Are mockup screens of the UI useful in getting approval up front before committing to building the feature?

This is correct.

You don't need mockups.
