Add country/region code for English subs like Chinese and Portuguese.

Request ability to set up different user profiles (wife was born in Scotland, me US) to use different region subs, but don't see the option in the drop-down menu for English.

** Would need to revert to just English subtitles if no region is specified for English subtitles because not all movies and TV shows have both.

Many TV shows and even UHD discs though do have English subs for both GB and US.

Format of external subtitles trying to use according to format specified in Emby kb:

  • moviename.en-GB.SDH.srt
  • moviename.en-US.SDH.srt

Emby kb which mentions using region codes along with the language, though it doesn't appear to recognize English regions.

Subtitles | Emby Documentation

 

In Emby only option is English (no region).  Other languages like Chinese and Portuguese have region options.  Currently using server 4.9 beta

Not sure if Emby is default to the setup region, or the first.  However, doesn't recognize the region with English subtitles.

For internal subtitles MKVToolnix allows you to set both regions for English subs.

MKVToolnix Emby doesn't seem to recognize the region for internal English GB subs.

MKVToolnix Emby doesn't seem to recognize the region for internal English US subs.

HI, yes it's odd that we have this for other languages but not English. The change is going to be more impactful now though. It would have been much less difficult if it were done that way to begin with.
