Apple TV subtitles not working

Apple TV subtitles stopped working. The message says I must control this in the app. It does not say what app. This appears in Showtime Netflix etc.

Control what’s playing on Apple TV - Apple Support


To turn on or turn off subtitles during playback, on the Siri Remote, swipe down on the Touch surface to show the Info pane, swipe right to show the Subtitles pane, then swipe down and choose the option you prefer.



Some content may not have subtitles, depending on show and content provider.
