The Emby Server, when playing movies, is often out-of-sync subtitles. I have not found where I can fix this, ie synchronize the caption with the audio. I override all available options, but the caption remains out of sync. Is this feature not available on Emby Server? Thank you.

Hi there, Using LG App 1.06. Watch a Episode with enabled forced Subs to it´s end and let the LG App "AutoContinue" to the next Episode. In the next Episode, you will not see the correct Subtitles, but you will see the Subtitles from the previous watched Show. best Regards Brudertac

This happens when going in and out multiple times of subtitle selection screen, to pre select a subtitle before play. This is with local library content and strm library content, with embedded and srt subtitles together in content.

Hello: I'm having no luck getting external subs to work on my KS 8000. Even emby downloaded subs don't display -- only embedded ones do. I've tried several srt files, including the emby downloading service. BTW: Thanks for all the hard work. Emby is really the best in class and has made my TV everything that I want it to be. Log.txt

Is there any means to download a movie subtitle from Emby? Currently the download works really well for movies and music but I could not find any means to get the subtitles downloaded.

i have always got this error when watching shows with subtitles on Roku. i have to completely exit the app, and play the next episode and re-select the subtitles on the next episode. Any help? I've been using Emby for years with this issue, just really tired of it now.

Hi all, I am new with emby server and may be I am doing something wrong and dumb but currently I am not able to make my emby server installation to download subtitles from Opensubtitles.org My server is (Taken from emby log): Operating system: Unix 4.14.15.64 64-Bit OS: False 64-Bit Process: False User Interactive: True Processor count: 4 Program data path: /var/lib/emby Application directory: /opt/emby-server/system Application version: 3.2.70.9 This is armhf version running on AARCH64 based SoC. My subtitles config looks like this: When I add files to the library, I am able to see requests to subdb in logs like the following one: 2018-02-03 10:47:09.804 Info HttpClient: GET http://api.thesubdb.com/?action=search&hash=C28F1D11BDF12742BCF25572428233F7 but no requests to opensubtitles.org in logs (even with debug logging enabled) Also adding username and password to the config didn't help. Media Info for the file which is used for example: Same results with 3.2.70.6 and 3.2.70.0 versions. Thanks in advance. P.S. I tried to provide as much info as possible but if you need any other log/data, I will provide them ASAP

Hi there, is it possible to have Emby show some sort of indicator when a movie or series (mostly series) has subtitles or not? So, for example, when clicking on Season 1 I can instantly see which episodes still need subtitles instead of clicking through the Info buttons one by one. Or any other solution that would make this process a little easier?

Hey there other datahoarders and dev from the emby community. I have been using emby for a little while but i had issues with users loging in to my account even though i changed my password every single time and only i knew it and i grew tired of it and before i wrote a topic someone said to me to try plex and i did it.\ Although that problem was solved i just couldn't come to love plex and the shit thats been happening there now so i came back and to my happiness i saw some very nice changes. Love it keep up the great work. Now to my problem. There seem to be some kind of misalignment i might say not quite sure tbh with the subtitles in anime haven't tested with series and movies since i only have anime. What's happening is when i'm not in full screen subs are in right position but when in full screen subs somehow kinda end up almost in the middle of screen. This happens to all anime not a singularity or a bad patch or download. Photos in the attached section. Anyone has any ideas as to why?

If this item I marked in red not selected then subtitles not display in movie

I'm not whether it is specific for QNAP or in general for Linux. Using version 3.2.50.3 (beta) I get these messages in the log: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/EmbyServer/programdata/metadata/library/7c/7cfe1450d1224f5678ab592bb0025571/[sERIES NAME].S02E04.720p.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.eng.srt' The path doesn't exist at all. I'm not sure how to move forward ininvestigating this. I'm also not sure if this was also a problem in an older version. How does the manager determine the path to write to? Vincent

Hi, Running Emby 3.2.36.0 on my FreeNAS server, and lately i've seen some problems with Subtitle manager, it won't download the latest subs to latest tv-series/movies for me and im not getting the problem... im an VIP member on OpenSubtitle so it is not an issue with to many downloads, and it has worked perfekt the first half of this year atleast, and as you can see in download.txt logg it downloads subs, for some reason swedish versions of older series works, but getting error on newer subs as you can see in Error.txt looking for som new eyes on this, hopefully its something realy easy that i've missed. thanks in advance! from an swedish noob Error.txt Download.txt

Hi, Yesterday i bought Nvidia Shield TV to replace my Pi2. I installed Emby for Android TV App. Problem is, that this app is not displaying ASS/SSA subtitles at all. Previously I had problems with other devices, but this was fixed (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/48932-assssa-subtitles-not-playing-nice-with-androidioskodi/). Android Mobile App is playing nice - only Shield TV is not sowing them. Was searching for some kind of option for "smart subtitles" like in phone app, but there is none. Can you make something with this? I switched shield to debug mod and sent logs at ~11.38 GMT+1 time (Poland - user Bartek / barat). Also - i attach server logs. ffmpeg-remux-936e26f4-2ee4-4256-bb19-ea32ac131b88.txt ffmpeg-transcode-16d7b2f1-1357-4a5b-b7e1-802ff67baec3.txt ffmpeg-transcode-a216fe9e-f55b-4236-96d3-372ddc4685a6.txt ffmpeg-transcode-e4c36b0e-1ccb-4f9f-b259-45160ce38e8b.txt server-63648274462.txt

Hey, it'd be great if displaying the bottom on-screen display (OSD, e.g. when moving the mouse) pushed up subtitles such that they are not behind the OSD. That's all

Every time I watch anything on the Roku that has subtitles with it, it always plays the subs even though they aren't forced and I have to manually go and turn it off. I don't think this is the expected behavior. Is there any way to disable subs unless they are forced?

This is a bit of embarrassment for me to post but the movies I record from TCM (most of which have subtitles) do not show the subtitles when I play them back on my ATV Gen 4 client....they used to be there...also when I play the same Emby recorded file using Plex on the same ATV sure enough the subtitles are there pretty & perfect...I've scanned all the settings and did some forum searches to no avail..this must be something simple & trivial as I'm a rather new user of Emby..I presently have "Only download subtitles that are a perfect match.." checked and it has always been checked ..I have my Open Subtitles user name & password in properly..could it be something wrong in my Open Subtitles settings? I also have : " Skip if the default audio tract matches the download language" unchecked as well as the other skip regarding embedded subtitles What am I missing here?

Hello @@Luke, Thanks for finally bringing Emby to LG AppStore I've tried the app on my TV (LG 43UJ701V / webOS 3.5) and unfortunately I cannot play with subtitles - they just don't show up no matter what language I choose. DLNA playback is OK and shows subtitles accordingly. I am using a custom profile named "LG Smart TV 2017" that is derived from the built-in "LG Smart TV" profile. The only difference is the support for HEVC; other than that, the profile is equal. You can find it attached below. I also noted in the logs that subtitle encoding is ANSI (aka windows-1252). Is this an issue? They work OK via DLNA or XPlay (plex). I've updated Emby server the latest version, also cleaned up the log folder before reproducing the issue so that you can have a clean slate of everything that is going on the server. I attached a zip with: The server log The subtitle file The custom profile that I'm using My tv model is: LG 43UJ701V / webOS 3.5 Waiting for an update! Thanks! server-63644482863.zip

Just got a Amazon Fire TV and was pleasantly surprised at how much content can be natively played. Thanks for all the hard work. I have been having a problem with SRT subtitles that are muxed into .mkv's not being able to be played back. I couldn't find any info on how Amazon Fire inputs/outputs subtitles, is there any hope that SRT subtitles will work without transcoding? Right now all my files just say "Subtitles loading...." and then it fails I tried to turn subtitles off on a file I was playing and it wouldn't allow me to. Normally I would be ok with subtitles always on (that is how I set it) but given that it is the difference between transcoding and direct streaming - it would be nice to turn off. If you try to turn it off, it goes to the loading circle (if you check emby server dashboard it says direct streaming) stays there for a moment and then goes back to displaying subtitles (emby server dashboard says transcoding). the Subtitles are: hdmv_pgs_subtitle

I am not sure if this is possible. When I play my movies on the browser ( chrome ) where you have the play pause and scrapping at the bottom of the page. Can we also add the option to change language or subtitles there as well? I know we have the remote option, but a simple dropdown that would display the language and subtitles of what currently playing and have an option to change it to another. Monkeyslapper

Hi, I have a little problem. When I watch a movie with Emby app I have a choice for subtitles but no subtitle appear when I choose. But when I see the same movie with a web interface (with safari on my phone) the subtitle works. Do you have any idea ?

What is the criteria to download missing subtitles ?? I have several old series and movies that Emby hasn't downloaded the subtitles for. If I manually search for the subtitles, using the Edit Subtitles option, they are found. So, is there any criteria/age limit on when an item has been added to Emby, after which subtitles are no longer searched for ?? Thanks.

Greetings, I've really been enjoying running Emby on an old Mac Pro that was given to me; generally with the two Xenons I figured it'd do alright and for the most part I've been correct - across a vast range of media it plays things back flawlessly. However, I watch a lot of Anime (which is an understatement) and a lot of it features subtitles of the ASS variety. Usually when I watch them with VLC on a computer just like the one I have Emby running on, they move fluidly with all the crazy animations that the subbers have added; but in Emby when streaming to any other client that apparently isn't the case. They are often just a little slow, even in shows that have really minimal subbing and in the ones that have crazy stuff going on I've actually seen it pause the video intermittently and take a break during heavy sections like the openings and endings. If you wanna see what a log looks like of me watching an entire episode of something you can find it attached Log.txt . Basically, is there anything I can do to improve playback and prevent this from happening? I really don't want to bake these in to my files, but maybe I'd experience more uniform experiences if I shelled out for a GTX 950 with NVENC or something. What's your opinion? Anyone else have this happen to them? Thanks -Kb

So I have tried on and off to try to get subtitles download to work without success. I tried searching for the problem but the posts I found indicate that once it reaches the 200 limit on a non-VIP it should stop, however that never seems to happen to me. This has happened over several version (last time I tried was months back) including 3.2.19 which I have loaded right now. I clicked only on episode, then save, then went to tasks and hit the subtitle one to run. It proceeds to spam my activity log and balloons my log file into a massive 200mb file before I was able to stop it by hitting stop manually. Below is my subtitles.xml file (deleted my username and password), and the episode flag is back to false since I had to disable it. I am running Unraid, with the official Emby docker (or was labeled as such). <?xml version="1.0"?> <SubtitleOptions xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SkipIfEmbeddedSubtitlesPresent>false</SkipIfEmbeddedSubtitlesPresent> <SkipIfAudioTrackMatches>false</SkipIfAudioTrackMatches> <DownloadLanguages> <string>eng</string> <string>spa</string> </DownloadLanguages> <DownloadMovieSubtitles>false</DownloadMovieSubtitles> <DownloadEpisodeSubtitles>false</DownloadEpisodeSubtitles> <OpenSubtitlesUsername>xxxxx</OpenSubtitlesUsername> <OpenSubtitlesPasswordHash>xxxx</OpenSubtitlesPasswordHash> <IsOpenSubtitleVipAccount>false</IsOpenSubtitleVipAccount> <RequirePerfectMatch>true</RequirePerfectMatch> </SubtitleOptions> This is the error where it shows rate limit, I got spammed by these until I was able to tell the scan to stop. 2017-06-21 18:46:34.4418 Error App: Error downloading subtitles *** Error Report *** Version: 3.2.19.0 Command line: /usr/lib/emby-server/bin/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe -programdata /config -restartpath /usr/lib/emby-server/restart.sh Operating system: Unix 4.4.30.0 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True Mono: 4.8.1 (Stable 4.8.1.0/22a39d7 Fri Jun 2 05:04:04 UTC 2017) Processor count: 2 Program data path: /config Application directory: /usr/lib/emby-server/bin System.Exception: OpenSubtitles rate limit reached Logfile (its too large to attach): https://www.dropbox.com/s/1tjb09iobrr6wwt/server-63633599999.txt?dl=1

How do I make it so subtitles are off by default? I cannot find it in the Android Tv options...

After upgrading to the latest version of Emby Server, I noticed that legends, formerly perfect, are displaying garbage characters when the letter is accented. In Brazil letters with accents are very common, so these characters in question mark format are all over the legend.
