Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The first issue, on my first screenshot...When I open some episodes, it plays a wrong episode. I didn't know why until I saw several file names under the Video section. On my other screenshots you can see my file struction on my server, and where these files are. I think in this case the issue comes fom the S01E03 part of the both names. This is not good, at all. How can I solve this? Of course without renaming the files. On the other hand, I had the same issue with this same series, but with specials. There were 4 different specials episodes under the Video section, and in that case the issue couldn't be that season and episode numbering. My other issue is on my second screenshot. As you can see on the rest of my screenshots, I have all subtitles in Serbian. But when Serbian is selected in the Subtitles menu, nothing is displayed, no subtitle. I have to choose that English option, and only then the Serbian subtitle is showed. But the problem is, it's out of sync. The timings are correct, because when I play the same show on my PC in MPC player, the sync is good. I think it shows the Serbian subtitle, but it uses that English timing. Any idea why is this happening? My device is Mi Stick 4k with AndroidTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14926 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hi. Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Tried renaming the file, the sam thing, it shows it again, only renamed this time. And on this screenshot, you can see the same situation with to specials. There is no way we can now talk about similar names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1532 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Because the "Story of" episodes have the episode identification in them, they are seen as other versions of the episode, and so get merged - even though they are in a separate folder. Emby currently tries to merge specials in with the season, however inappropriate (there used to be an option to control that behaviour, but now they've decided they know better, and removed it). In this instance I would try overriding that behaviour by putting fake season 0 numbers before the episode number (e.g. s00e101) - using high numbers that won't exist in the metadata database. Your newer example I cannot explain. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 I don't know, it just is. And it's way slower. I went back to the latest beta for the AndroidTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 I don't know. For me, it just is. The AndroidTV version is much better suited for the TV. Looks nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way we can see everything, folder names, file names, hierarchy. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Well, you can see it above. That last screenshot. Those are the specials and I have the problem with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4287 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 So you ideally want to follow the metadata providers naming - that way, emby can get it 100% correct. Only Fools and Horses - Unknown - Specials - TheTVDB.com For example (my OFAH Season 0 (aka Specials) :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Will try that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4287 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Ideally you should do that for all the normal seasons as well - as your naming/numbering could be confusing things. Just use the tvdb link above - it will show all Seasons and what they should be named. Emby will try and do it's best if you don't use Season/Episode numbering - but I've always found using SxxExx to be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 The problem with multiple episodes in the Video section is solved with this new naming pattern. But the subtitle issue still remains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 I have a very weak upload. But let me tell you this. When I play those files on my PC in a media player, they work just fine, the sync is perfect. So I don't think it's the subtitle issue. One more thing. Before I posted thing question a few days ago, I had this show in a different video format...the whole season in only 2 files. You can see it on my screenshot. And even with those I had subtitle sync issues. In the meantime, I have downloaded the whole show with proper files, and still the same issue. But only with this show.

rbjtech 4287 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Without the files I would just be guessing I'm afraid. It's possible the PC player is maybe looking at the internal (DVDSUB) files are syncing the Serbian SRT file (that is probably out of sync) but emby does not do that. You can fix the sync yourself with Applications such as subsync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 OK, I will do my best to upload some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabukodonosor 11 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 In the meantime, how do you explain the thing that when Serbian subtitle is selected (and it's selected by default), it doesn't show anything, but when I select english it shows Serbian subtitle, out of sync?
