migue333 1 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) After having many seek issues with Kodi and NextPVR I decided to try Emby and its TV feature. I'm using locast2tuner to provide a Locast m3u tuner to Emby. Watching Live TV or even a Recorded show I can't get CC displayed on either a Chromecast with Google TV, a Sony Bravia Android Tv, Roku Premiere+ or the Emby Theater app for Windows. A Samsung TV with Tizen DOES show captions on Live TV and Recorded TV. Also playing the .TS file with the default Movies and TV app from Windows 10 shows CC too. I sent debug logs from playback from the Chromecast with Google Tv at 530PM EST, while playing a recorded portion of The Fugitive, under User Miguel. Attached also server logs and screenshot of file info when playing on the Chromecast with Google TV. EDIT: Here's the MediaInfo for the file: General ID : 1 Complete name : M:\Videos\PVR\Recordings\The Fugitive\Season 3\The Fugitive S03E26 The White Knight.ts Format : MPEG-TS File size : 113 MiB Duration : 12 min 57 s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 1 221 kb/s Video ID : 256 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High Format level : 3.1 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, Referenc : 4 frames Codec ID : 27 Duration : 12 min 58 s Width : 854 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Audio ID : 257 Format : AAC LC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format version : Version 4 Muxing mode : ADTS Codec ID : 15-2 Duration : 12 min 57 s Bit rate mode : Variable Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel layout : L R Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 46.875 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Delay relative to video : -48 ms Text #1 ID : 256-CC1 Format : EIA-608 Muxing mode : SCTE 128 / DTVCC Transport Muxing mode, more info : Muxed in Video #1 Duration : 12 min 58 s Bit rate mode : Constant Stream size : 0.00 Byte (0%) Text #2 ID : 256-1 Format : EIA-708 Muxing mode : SCTE 128 / DTVCC Transport Muxing mode, more info : Muxed in Video #1 Duration : 12 min 58 s Bit rate mode : Constant Stream size : 0.00 Byte (0%) Menu ID : 4096 Duration : 12 min 57 s Service name : Service01 Service provider : FFmpeg Service type : digital television pointer_field : 0 section_length : 23 logs.zip Edited August 23, 2021 by migue333 Added MediaInfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This example was transcoding due to an incompatible container - I'm guessing TS. There is an option in the app settings to allow direct playback of TS files. You can try that. If ffmpeg processes the video stream, it strips out the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migue333 1 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 That option is ON. Turning it off made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 15186 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Your screenshot of stats is direct playing but the log you sent from the app was not. Different items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migue333 1 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 No, same item. Just sent new logs from the Sony TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 15186 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The player is not seeing any CC track. Perhaps because it contains two of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migue333 1 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 OK, how do we test this theory? TSMuxer doesn't support CC tracks. Is there a way to force the player to pick the first CC track always? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player does not see any CC tracks at all so there is nothing to force there. I'm not sure why it isn't seeing them (assuming the media info you provided is for the exact same item as the app log). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migue333 1 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 As a test, I imported the file to Plex and it detects the CC, though it does have to transcode to burn in the CC to the stream on the Android TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37994 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 We are working on improving closed captions support. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migue333 1 Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Since Locast shut down I switched over to an antenna and a Homerun and Emby detects CC properly with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
