Can't load external subtitles: Error App: Error getting subtitles

[toomanynights 13]

Haha, it works now! Thanks a bunch @quickmic!

Yes, as you installed the stable repo, there is one for beta as well.

But don't do it now, obviously it would not work till I check in the patched version.

 

[toomanynights 13]

Surely. I'll wait until the next beta release. Thanks again!

[quickmic 1571]

fyi, for compatibility reasons, in next beta you need to use the "old" connection string with the "emby" extension

Also I'll send you a new test version, probably tomorrow before I check it in to beta repo. Please run a final test when ready, thanks.

Got it!

[quickmic 1571]

Please test the login, the subtitle and the realtime updates. Relatime updates -> Mark as watched, unwatched is sufficient for a basic test.

@quickmic, I'm on it.

[toomanynights 13]

All right:

- Logged in successfully

- The problematic subtitle works

- Sync: kinda works? For some reason that very episode that has problematic subtitle - Vexed (more like Hexed, hehe) refused to sync at first. It was "watched", I marked it as "unwatched" on another machine, the change would not sync. Other episodes would sync instantly, both directions (watched -> unwatched and the other way around). After returning to Vexed, I toggled it a couple more times and it started syncing too. Weird.

[quickmic 1571]

Please try this version, if it's still not syncing, please send me a debug log.

plugin.service.emby-next-gen-10.0.31 build 7.zip

[toomanynights 13]

Seems to be working now!

[quickmic 1571]

Pushed to beta repo

[toomanynights 13]

Awesome! Thanks

Before you install from beta, keep an eye if beta repo really holds the .31 version. Sometimes Kodi repo is a bit slow with sync. Usually, I reinstall the beta repo to force a refresh.

[toomanynights 13]

After repo reinstall, says 10.1.0 there. Not 10.0.31

That's the video plugin and is correct. The new "core" plugin is the service and this should have .31

However, if you try to update your productive box, just update the video plugin. The others are updated automatically (as dependency).

video plugin is demoted as a helper

Just checked the version of the service. Says .30. I'll check again in a few hours.

Yep, or reinstall the beta repo from zip.

[toomanynights 13]

Hmmm. It still says 10.0.30

Not sure how I can do that on a TV...

[quickmic 1571]

As you have 9.X already installed, it's quite easy. install from zip and select kodi.emby.tv "folder" and select "repository.beta.emby.kodi-1.0.10.zip"

[toomanynights 13]

Thanks, did just that and rebooted Kodi. Still 10.0.30.

[quickmic 1571]

Yep, sometimes Kodi is kind of stupid and caches content. You can repeat the install. Probably unintsall the repo and reinstall from zip. At some point, it will show .31.

I also struggle sometimes with that.

Yep. That did it. After a bit of pain of entering password on a TV, it works like a charm! Even the glitchy subtitles work now. They are however detected as "Hindi", but that's a matter of another topic entirely.

@quickmic, thanks a lot for your swift help!

Hi guys,

I have this issue while starting a movie with VLC over Yatse on Android. I browse the library with Yatse, but hand over playback to VLC.

I have read through the chat and saw there was proposed solution as fix in Kodi plugin. But I still dont understand: is root problem located on server side or should I raise a bug ticket with Yatse (or even VLC for Android)?

Thanks for your help!
