happytonakai 4 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 In the subtitle downloads setup, there is an option 'Skip if the video already contains embedded subtitles'. It means literally that the download will be skipped if the video has embedded subtitles no matter in which language it is. I think it's better be 'Skip if the video already contains embedded subtitle that matches the download language'. Because many videos contain embedded English subtitles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you mean that the functionality is essentially what I suggested: skipping the download if the video already contains embedded subtitles in a language that matches one of the configured languages for downloading?

Happy2Play 8296 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Skip if the video already contains embedded subtitles Keeping text versions of subtitles will result in more efficient delivery and decrease the likelihood of video transcoding. The note is to vague as one will want to get subs if embedded are PSG. So subtitle type needs/should always be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conflating requiring subtitles in a particular language and the possibility of transcoding being required is not logical. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
