I’ve vaced the same problem. I’ve found the solution in SMPlayer’s FAQ:
Q. How to play YouTube videos at the highest quality and with subtitles
You can play YouTube videos at 1080p or even at 4K resolution with SMPlayer. You only need to make a small change in the SMPlayer configuration. In Preferences -> Network select mpv + youtube-dl in the option Support for video sites. Also be sure mpv is selected as multimedia engine in Preferences -> General.
This modification also makes the YouTube subtitles available in SMPlayer.

OK, but how do I chose which subtitle to show?
In SMplayer if I go to:
Menu>Subtitles>Closed Captions>…I see: Off, 1, 2, 3, 4
If this is the right place to select, what do I do if I want the 6th YouTube subtitle?
Anyway, I selected all off them, but no subtitle shows.
What are the proper settings in all subtitle-related places at the Preferences?
Is it a problem if I set a youtube-dl option:
–ytdl-format=1900
?
It does not seem to work for me

Note: Linux users must install youtube-dl.

You have to select the subtitles from the menu Subtitles -> Primary track.
That worked. Thank you.
