FrostByte 5049 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 FR: use server options for playing subtitles. For instance if you have your profile options set to Always Play subtitles then it would transcode the subtitle before starting. Right now you have to start the movie, select tools, select your subtitle, and then it transcodes the movie and restarts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 FR: use server options for playing subtitles. For instance if you have your profile options set to Always Play subtitles then it would transcode the subtitle before starting. Right now you have to start the movie, select tools, select your subtitle, and then it transcodes the movie and restarts Well the reason i didnt use the settings was due to many films having subtitles in the same language as the audio but the language markers were "und" (undefined) in the files, so it would thus load subtitles. With that in mind, i didn't want to always be transcoding files when it wasnt necessary, so letting the user do it during playback made it a user choice. It's an area i need to work on.

FrostByte 5049 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I see your point. I think one of the options on the server is "No Subtitles" which would be like it is now with the app I suppose for those who have their subtitle languages undefined as you mentioned. They could always manually force the one they want at play time like it is now. Available options (Default, Only Forced, Always Play, and No Subtitles). Just an option to consider down the road.

Thanks I believe the app sorts by SortName - Offering a choice is really difficult as that would be on a per view basis would it not - In truth this isnt possible and you may be better off changing the sort name to reflect the film order.

FrostByte 5049 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I guess server settings would be best vs making an app setting if possible since people can have a mixture.

cragjagged 44 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I know what you mean. At the moment the only way to practically jump around long videos is using the chapters from the item details page. However, because of the small amount of screen real estate there is to work with there's no images there to help you out with choosing a chapter like there are in most of the other clients. It's definitely an area i'd like to look at making some improvements on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
