Are you sure it's wrong, or do you just not like the font? im pretty sure its wrong. i asked a guy he said maybe emby uses traditional font for this subtitles which are simplified chinese, so it lacks correspond font to show it correctly. so it shows those characters in default font Edited April 24, 2023 by yzxvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I think the issue is that we're not including a font at all in the theater windows app, so I'm guessing the mpv player is just using registered fonts on the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzxvw 3 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) i dont think potplayer has build-in fonts either, so its more like mpv didnt get info from emby client that which language( traditional/simpified) those subs are and uses traditional font as default?

yzxvw 3 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) yeah i just played this file on a mpv win version, same result. its a mpv's bug Edited April 24, 2023 by yzxvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I think mpv will say it's not a bug and that you just need to bring your own font file. From Emby's perspective, we need to embed the same font into the app that we use with other apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzxvw 3 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) i reported this issue to mpv's github https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/11625 mpv can't digtinguish simplified/traditional subs currently. it using traditional font preferentially causes this issue. it seems they knew this issue but the pr is not merged yet https://github.com/libass/libass/pull/607 So for now I have to manually set font for chinese simplified subs. Is it possible to set it in emby theater? @Luke Edited April 24, 2023 by yzxvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzxvw 3 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 temp fix: add a mpv.conf in %AppData%\Roaming\mpv\ contains: sub-font = "Source Han Sans CN" to force it using a specific font 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
