Subtitle downloaded even when there are embedded subtitles

[dinojr]

For some files, subliminal downloads an english subtitle even though there is already an embedded subtitle in the file.

Here is the output of ffmpeg -i showing the embedded subtitle: ffmpeg -i The\ Mandalorian\ S01E01.mp4

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'The Mandalorian S01E01.mp4':

It turns the problem comes from the tx3g subtitle format embedded in the mp4 video. The same video transcoded to a mkv container, with the subtitle embedded in ass format with handbrake doesn't have this problem.
