VLC downloads wrong subtitles when playing from Serviio

I searched high and low for this and I swear I'm the only one with this problem.

VLC on Android can download subtitles for the file that is currently playing. This works great with local files (i.e., files that are on the device). However, when playing files from Local Network -> Serviio, it downloads the wrong subtitles (completely unrelated, for something that I suspect I've never had on any device). It also sometimes download something (there's a track in Subtitles) but nothing shows.

I've reproduced the issue at a friend's house, so it's not just me.

I've attempted to create a new folder without automatic metadata completion (I had a suspicion that this may be related) but no dice.

Details:
Serviio server on Windows 10.
VLC for Android on Samsung Note 4 and on MXIII set top box.

It's expect it's an issue with VLC, maybe they call a different service for the subs based on the file title?
