I hope that the default subtitle will no longer be none, but an existing subtitle.

Senhores, Eu posso estar fazendo errado ou não saber fazer oque quero exatamente, então desde já peço desculpas. Estou enfrentando o seguinte problema: Baixei diversos filmes dual audio, quando reproduzo no celular ou computadores, posso alternar entre dublado e legendado sem problemas. Porém quando eu transmito pra minha TV ele vai automaticamente dublado e sem legenda. Eu alterei a configuração do Emby para o idioma padrão ficar inglês porém continuei com a dificuldade. Podem me ajudar? Obrigado. @@cayars

Would really like to have a separate “Subtitle Mode” for LiveTV vs Library items. I typically only watch live tv for sports, which captions often are more of a hinderance than a help. I’m certain i’m not alone in this. Ideally would have “always” for library items and “No subtitles” for live tv on my profile. I have seen this very topic discussed in other areas of the forum but couldn’t find a feature request for it.

I am from Germany. English audio is not preferred but a little bit possible, for subtitles english is great. If I have foreign Audio (e.g. Japanese), I would like to use german, or if not available, english subs. Therefore I select subtitle options like this: If I do, one Series (German Audio, German forced subs) works perfect. But Bartender does not. It has Japanese Audio and German as well as English subs, but it selects neither: If I remove "English" from the preferred Sub languages, it correctly selects German. I would like to select both because I also have series with english subs only. Is there any Option to fix this?

I have subtitles turned on for different shows I watch if necessary. An example is 3 Body Problem has a lot of subtitles in it. At least in the episodes I've watched. When I play it on my phone I can see them fine and switch to other subtitle options all showing as expected. If I cast to my Chromecast no subtitles appear on screen for any title that I happen to be watching. I turned on logs but not sure if it needs more time to populated because nothing is there including the folder within android that the website recommends checking. Happy to provide screenshots of necessary but at this point in time I can only show screenshots of proofs that they show on my phone and a picture of my TV to show they aren't there but I assumed that wasn't great for narrowing down the issue.

The subtitles play fine with the android app with direct play, but the web player fails with: I've tried multiple files, all with .ass subtitles and embedded fonts and all fail. This is with "Allow subtitle extraction on the fly" unchecked. That option allows the video to play but it does not even display generic srt-type subs, it just plays without subtitles. ffmpeg-transcode-7310c3f5-6549-4467-ae69-4de36eb64160_1.txt embyserver.txt

Hi, let me start off by saying that Emby its the best streaming server out there! Nice job and keep going! I think it would be great to have an automatic feature that convert's .pgs subtitles inside .mkv files to .srt. Let me give you an example of use case that's actually what I'm dealing right now: I have a 55" LG 4K TV and i'm using the Emby app whis is beautiful btw. I have several 4K HEVC BluRay movies in .mkv files in the server that have .pgs subtitles and different audio tracks for langs., the thing is that for me to be able to watch those movies I had to turn off all the transcoding options in my user profile. If I turn on the transcoding options, it tries to burn the subtitles by transcoding the Video file. I think that instead of transcoding the video file, it should be doing something like converting those .pgs existing subtitles to .srt files that are compatible with most DLNA devices. I think it would be awsome if we could cron this to run on the less server busy hours so the .srt file is ready to play whenever is needed instead of doing it on the fly when maybe there's no enough CPU resources.

This post is probably intended mainly for @Luke but I will appreciate comment/upvote or anything else that would benefit the discussion I'm the dev behind Bazarr and currently having discussion with the devs teams of major media servers/players (eg: Plex, Jellyfin) and I would like to bring Emby to the discussion table to get all the major teams to adopt a mutual standard regarding those subtitles. So, would it be possible in Emby to interpret correctly the language name for subtitles filename that would look like this? Film.en.hi.srt Film.en.cc.srt Film.en.sdh.srt They should be detected as English subtitles and it would be nice to see a custom tag to make the user aware of the hi/cc/sdh content. Thanks for joining the discussion. I hope will reach a consensus for that standard!

This is an FYI kind of post because I spent some time scratching my head before I figured it out... I use subtitles all the time in the form of external .SRT files and have never had any problems with them working. I just added Generation Kill to my library, ran Subtitle Edit in batch mode to strip out the HI stuff and it all looked good locally through MPC-HC. I copied it over to my Emby server to watch and found that it wasn't showing the subtitles. Emby knew all about the subtitles, they just weren't playing. To make a long story of troubleshooting shorter, I used Subtitle Edit in Batch Mode to "Fix Common Errors" and whatever that did, now the subtitles all worked without any issues. [For multiple Subtitles] Subtitle Edit: Tools > Batch Convert > Check FIX COMMON ERRORS [For a single subtitle] Subtitle Edit: Tools > FIX COMMON ERRORS The screen capture shows the batch settings that I use for every subtitle now. I hope that this helps someone, because it gave me an unwanted something to do for an hour.

Hi, so i have some kind of a stuttering issue. Each time a subtitle appears on screen the playback doesnt rly stutter but it glitches as if it was resizing the resolution for a fraction of a second, the issue only occurs on one of my screens and also if i put the playback in fullscreen on that one screen. If i put the playback on the other screen theres not a single issue. I rly dont understand whats causing this damn issue since everything works just fine on my other screen.. Both screens have the same resolution of 1920x1080, the "bugged" one is 144hz and the "good" one is 75hz I installed drivers for the "bugged" screen but nothing changed same when i downgraded the refresh rate of that screen to 75hz wich didnt solve the problem, i dont rly know what to test now so if someone have any idea of what may be going on i'd be very gratefull !

Hi ! I use my own videos which have SRT sidecars. I want the search engine to take into account the text in these SRT files, is that something emby could do ? For instance if I type the word "sleep", it will show any video which has the occurrence "sleep" in its subtitle file, better yet, when I click on the video, it takes me to the exact location of this occurrence. Is that implemented or supported by any plugin ? Thanks in advance !

I've downloaded the latest and set up the Emby Server (Docker) environment and I've been thoroughly enjoying this wonderful application so far. I was using muxed MKVs with embedded subs (PGS) and it all worked perfectly. Direct play in 4K and Software Transcoding worked fine, both displayed the embedded subs perfectly well. I'll use Oppenheimer here as an example. (Subs here are located slightly to the left of the frame, that's due to the subs included and not a fault on Emby's part.) Of course when I confirmed all worked well, I had to try out Hardware encoding for more powerful conversion and the possibility for friends and family to access my repository remotely. Now I noticed multiple "shortcomings" that came with this: - A noticable green hue (compare the two images), alltough this might the fault of wrongly transcoded DV HDR filter (doing research on that) - When using the embedded subs (preferable due to perfect audio timing), I notice that when HARDWARE trancoding specifically, the subs seem to get misplaced, seemingly in the 1920x1080 quadrant of a 4k frame... but that is indeed very strange behaviour. Both transcode logs are included, aptly named. I will add that while both are pretty big downfalls, mostly the subtitle problem is actually dealbreaking as most of my users will need subtitles. I tried to download SRT subtitles as a substitution, that resulted in the following on the Web Client: The green hue remains, but the SRT subs are correctly displayed in the Web Client, Huzzah! I test on the Windows Theather app: Nothing... And the hue persists also here. When I try to get the PGS subs to work in here after a 4k > 1080p transcode just like in web player, they seems to shift to the wrong place. Of this last two screenshots there's also a ffmpeg log included, aptly named. I will admit that I've searched on this topic for quite a bit allready and nothing seems to resolve the subtitles missing or being misplaced. Is this a known issue? Has this been seen before? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi, I’d love that audio and subtitles choice would be saved per show, according to what you select on the last episode you watched. The main audio/subtitles parameters is a good point but there are many cases it is not enough and you need to adjust audio and subtitles at the beginning of every episodes. For example i like to watch Casa de Pale in Spanish with french subtitles, The Big Bang Theory in English with french subtitles, French TV shows in french without subtitles, ....

I recently installed Emby Server (Version 4.8.3.0) via Docker and added some test files to my TV Show library. I also added some subtitles for different languages: 'Foundation (2021) - S01E01 - The Emperor’s Peace [WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][h264]-ggez.de.srt' 'Foundation (2021) - S01E01 - The Emperor’s Peace [WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][h264]-ggez.en.srt' 'Foundation (2021) - S01E01 - The Emperor’s Peace [WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][h264]-ggez.es.srt' 'Foundation (2021) - S01E01 - The Emperor’s Peace [WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][h264]-ggez.mkv' When looking at that episode's media info, the subtitles are being displayed as available (see attachment 01.png). When looking for them in the web player, they aren't listed, though (see 02.png). I rescanned my library several times, to no avail. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Hey @Luke Sorry to necro a really old post but I'm actually having the the same issue again with the latest few versions of OpenSubtitles. It seems the search is completely ignoring episode information/metadata and only searching based on the file name. Most of my library is organized as \Show name (2000)\Season 1\S01E01.mkv and for any of these files I get zero results on subtitle searches. Movies, and the odd TV show that does have at least the episode name in the title seem to search fine. Any thoughts?

Hello here, this is my setup and it does not work : 3.8 on Android TV Nvidia shield. When I download and play a "next episode" it takes default values regardless the very same subtitle exists.

Hi I don't know if it's an issue or a limited possibility. I noticed that some subtitles are in ASS format and others can be different like DVDSUB format. The problem is, I choose orange subtitles in size 14 (for example) in the user UI. That seems not to be respected during TV show with DVDSUB subtitles. ​ I have no idea why. Is it because, we need at 100% a transcode every time we get some DVDSUB subtitles ? And we can't have pretty subtitles in this case ? NB: Extract on the fly subtitle ( enabled and disabled ) do the same thing. Subtitle are white and bold, anyway, it's not the settings choose by the user. Thank you in advance

@LukeFound in Beta, and reproduced in Stable 4.8.1.0 Now that OpenSubtitles have SDH indicators in search results: the expectation was that when downloaded they would be named accordingly so that "Hearing Impaired" info was retained. However, files are downloaded and are missing the appropriate ".en.sdh.srt" Was able to reproduce with different media, same result. Log attached is for the above example. embyserver.txt

Hello everyone, I'm a new emby user since a week or two. But there is a problem that keeps occuring. When a streamed a video to my chromecast it showed subtitles, but this was only the first day. Now when I try to stream the same movie (or other) it doesn't show any subtitles. When I pauze the video on mobile when it shows a subtitle and than stream it, it will show that sentence for a split second and nothing after. Context: - I run my emby server on a synology - I use opensubtitles as automatic source - self added subtitles are having the correct naming (showed at the ? in emby) - I have searched the forum but didn't come across some solution Thanks for helping.

Hey folks, I'm a pretty novice user, and I'm having an issue I can't figure out or find resources on to self resolve. Basically, I used to be able to search for subtitles via the Edit Subtitles function on an episode, and it would return results based on the episodes information, such as the series, season, and episode. Now, it appears when it searches it ignores the series, and searches for any series with the same season and episode number, like this: This should be a search for Better Call Saul, S05E02, but as you can see it's searching for any show that matches. I have confirmed the metadata has the right information and even went so far as to replace all my meta data witha new scan to no avail. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi, I have the same problem. I use VLC without problems with the same file, but in emby http app. I try to uncheck "Allow subtitle extraction on the fly" without results. Any idea? ffmpeg-directstream-fb10667e-d804-4c8a-9bdf-684252fb7642_1.txt

I'm requesting a feature addition to Emby Theater: a way to change the vertical positioning of subtitles in Emby Theater. I want to raise them up about one line height. I'm comparing native playback of subtitled movies as discs in PowerDVD to MKV in Emby Theater. Emby theater positions the subtitles significantly lower in the screen than the disc playback does, about one full line lower. This worsens the overall experience. For a letterboxed movie like "Amelie", the subtitles fall across the letterbox boundary in Emby while they're within the movie frame natively. And in all cases (also seen in a 1.85 movie like "Kiki's Delivery Service") the subtitles are too close to the bottom of the screen, farther from the natural viewing location, making it a bit harder to read and watch simultaneously. If subtitle height can't be made a user preference, based on my sampling of four or five foreign language films, subs should be about one line height higher to match native Blu-ray playback. The Emby Theater setting is too low, from my small sampling. Thanks

hello!, I'm seen duplicated subtitles during search. Anybody has seen this or knows what I should be looking after?. Emby Server v4.7.14.0 on unRAID Opensubtitles plugin v1.0.34

The Edit Subtitles context menu option on a Movie Collection item presents a Search for Subtitles dialog. It appears that the Filename, instead of the title and year information from the Media item, is used to perform the such. This results in non-matching items, due to media file naming conventions conflicting with the opensubtitles provider. Further, it would be useful to be able to upload a subtitle file in this dialog, as an alternative.
