Emby client on Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 is skipping lines from srt file

[Amdir 1]

Hello,

This is most certainly a very annoying bug.

Emby client (Android TV) on Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 is skipping lines from srt file while Emby for Android on Shield and Emby for Android on an Android phone is not doing that.

Maybe this will help you in debug:

In additional tests, Plex client on Shield is having the same bug! Haven't find the time to test Jellyfin but why 2 different media servers' clients having the same bug on the same place. (Skipped lines from srt files are at the same place for both clients)

From the attached subtitle. 87 is missing from video screen:

There lots of missing lines on screen from subtitle file from now on. It begins with this line.

Sharing screenshot from Android client and AndroidTV client:

85 ends at 00:05:10,280
86 starts at the same time.
this results in doubling up of lines.

85 ...text

86 ...text

I think there is a built in time out for subtitle times that overlap.  

The error is that a ending time should  be at least 300ms before the next starting time.

Please be aware that this is only problem with AndroidTV clients and everything else displays this correctly.

Hi.  This is handled by the player so it probably comes down to the version of Exo.

while Emby for Android on Shield ... is not doing that

Why not just use that app then?

So we need to report it to Google? Where we can see the Exoplayer version and compare?

I can't use direct Android app inside the Shield because it only allows to play 1 minute playback. While in Smart Phone Emby Android is full version without paying anything -and how that is possible I don't understand' the same Emby for Android inside Shield asks for Subscriptionwhich I can buy maybe in Black Friday sales.

And also Android TV version in shield not asking for membership but one-time purchase for app. I have installed the Android TV version to the Smart Phone and bought it from there.

But now Android TV version on shield still saying "Trial version will end in 17 November".

And regular Android version on Shield still requires "Subscription".

Really I didn't get the payment policies. Because all 4 clients of Emby on Shield + Smart Phone is opened with same account.

And also can't you update the Androit TV version?

or fix the source of the problem - badly constructed subtitles ..

use subtitle edit - it's free...

No thank you, I will not do that.

Most players even Emby's other version can fix it automatically on the fly why would I do that manually for possible hundreds of subtitles today and future?

The reason I am using .arr stack, paying opensubtitles, considering paying Emby is the reason to make everything automatic and hassle free.

Not for every episode I will sit and be watch that subtitle source maybe badly constructed and then do manual work on that. Then copy the subtitles back to media folder. And watch 20 minutes of anime and then for the next episode..No.

It will be better not only for me but for every other Emby customer.

The overlap for subtitles is by design.  Media directors can force multiple titles to be on the screen, at once by overlapping times.  The next subtitle will appear below it.  Perhaps this is what the director wanted to have with their subtitle timing.

[Amdir 1]

Yeah, so the player should be able to show overlapping subtitles but it can't. Only the clients on Shield Android TV version are not able to do it. (both Emby and Plex)

The direct Android version of Emby is already having this feature, I hope the solution wouldn't be to difficult for devs?

[Amdir 1]

This is wrong. Lacking extra subtitle on top. Can't show multiple subtitles at the same time on the screen.

This is the correct one. Having but subtitles showing at the screen at the same time:

And now I am seeing the TV app is only getting bugfixes and will be removed in future. I didn't even notice there was 2 versions of the app at first. It was a mere chance. When I first setup Shield and searched for Emby, one app came up and I have installed it right away.

This is not a good user experience.

There could be lots of potential customers/users that are not aware of 2 different apps and the one that comes in search is lacking behind and only security / bugfix updates.

@Amdir

HI, we are working on unifying them. We will look into the store search issue that you've mentioned. Thanks !
