After playing a movie, all the subtitles and video aspect information disappeared

Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

For a MKV movie with subtitle tracks, after playing the movie (or just playing for several minutes), all the subtitles and video aspect information for the video file disappeared from streamdetails table of video database. All the subtitle stream records for the video file were deleted, the fVideoAspect field for video stream was cleared. This issue only appears in 18.2rc1, works fine in 18.1, should be a bug introduced by #15589

Aeon MQ8 skin has these information displayed, so it's very easy to see this bug with that skin. Because this stream detail auto update feature, I can't fix these information by using a NFO file, I think give user an option for this behavior is better. For example, Aeon MQ8 skin doesn't support to show some aspect ratio, I manually edit the NFO file to override the data, but it got override by this update, which is not what I want.

I am also having this bug.

I would prefer to have the aspect ratio stay as the value from the nfo instead of being autodetected from the video stream like it was in previous versions. This is because I save the aspect ratio of the movie (ie 2.35 or 2.4 etc) even if the black bars are encoded into the stream (eg direct bluray rips). This is useful because it can be used to write macros to automatically control projector zoom and lenses etc. Maybe like Hawkedon suggests may a toggle switch to either use the data from the nfo or the videostream would be the best solution.
