Description

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem in Plex with Auto Proxy mod behind Swag, in some version of the plex app and via web, the subtitles are not displayed even if correctly active on the player; specifically the subtitles are external in SRT format.
I've found a post on the Plex forum describing the solution (link on Source/References), and I've tested it successfully including the fix in the Plex proxy configuration sample.
For reference before the fix in the error.log on nginx inside SWAG you can find error like this:

2025/03/20 14:43:57 [error] 1348#1348: *75271 upstream sent duplicate header line: 
"Content-Length: 57218", previous value: "Content-Length: 57218" while reading response header from upstream, 
client: x.x.x.x, server: plex.*, request: "GET /library/streams/1407?X-Plex-Token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&encoding=utf-8 
HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://x.x.x.x:32400/library/streams/1407?X-Plex-Token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&encoding=utf-8", host: 
"plex.domain.io"

Benefits of this PR and context

In Plex you can finally use and see external SRT subtitles on Plex App versions like Linux or Web

How Has This Been Tested?

Used SWAG with Auto-Proxy mod and modified the plex.subdomain.conf.sample with the new location /library/streams/; Played some movies with external SRT subtitles in Plex for Linux and via web, the subtitles now are working correctly, no more errors on nginx

I have the same issue. Took me a long time to realize it was swag. Same errors in my logs.
