Android TV : ASS subtitles aren't displayed #1015

Description

It is impossible to display ASS subtitles embedded directly in an MKV file on Android TV.

On Android, there is an option to switch to the MPV player and then disable the "Native libass subtitles" option, which allows the ASS subtitles to be displayed correctly in my case.

However, these options are not available in the Android TV version. As a result, embedded ASS subtitles cannot be displayed on Android TV.

I saw the "chore: Enable libass by default and clean-up player settings" (#900) update and expected it might fix this issue. However, ASS subtitles embedded in MKV files still do not appear on Android TV in my testing.

Reproduction steps

1. Play an MKV file containing embedded ASS subtitles.
