Angelblue05 4131 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Ok, in the next version (1.0.08) I've disabled Emby audio-subs preferences. I'll put it back in the box until I can work on it some more. I have a good idea of the direction we need to go in, but I don't have the time currently to work on the solution.
xnappo 1605 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 You could just leave it as an option off by default. I think it should be an option even once working, but it is important for streaming for sure.
Angelblue05 4131 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah, I just wanted people to report back and give feedback, that's why I didn't put it as an option. But yes, when it will be re-implemented it will be fully optional. However for transcoding, it is still in place for now.
mobamoba 12 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I'm on 1.0.09 now this problem still exists; it doesn't matter how many times I tell Kodi to always enable subtitles and save it as default as when I play a video, they're disabled. This problem didn't exist until whatever beta version introduced the subtitle control. Just wanted to let you know it's still a problem. Thanks.
Angelblue05 4131 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I removed the code. I really don't see how it's possible :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
mobamoba 12 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Well something's happening. Basically, before the Emby update, I had subtitles always set to enabled in Kodi and it worked fine. I'd start a video and the subtitles would appear. Now, I have to enable them for every single video - setting subtitles as enabled no longer sticks. I tried again tonight. Played a video, no subtitles, went to the video menu, enabled them, hit use this setting for all videos and confirmed it, went to play another video, no subtitles, went into the video menu and subtitles enabled was unselected and had to manually select it again. So while the code may no longer be present in the plugin, is it possible that something in the code messed with defaults or saving defaults or something? Because defaults for subtitles aren't stcking. This behavior didn't exist before. In the Emby plugin there's still a thing that asks if you want subtitles enabled for all videos and I haven't touched that (it's selected). Should I de-select that? Thanks.
Angelblue05 4131 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 No the option is a dud and forgot to remove it - even if you enable it its not plugged into our code. Ill see if I can replicate this :/ sorry for this trouble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
mobamoba 12 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks. If a log or something would help let me know.
Angelblue05 4131 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 @@mobamoba You are direct playing/streaming your content correct? I have just tried and it behaves correctly. The enable subtitles sticks between playbacks. I have no idea why it would not work for you, but it wouldn't show in logs.... At this point, I'd say to reset - resync your Kodi database. Hopefully it will resolve the situation.
mobamoba 12 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Yes I'm direct playing. I've narrowed this down a bit though at this point I don't really know if the problem is Emby or Kodi. I wiped Emby beta from Kodi, restarted, added a video source and checked and yep my defaults (subtitles enabled) was there; I saved it just to be sure. I then readded the Emby beta and let it do its thing. Now subtitles are enabled by default on everything except MKVs. For MKVs, they're always set to disabled. I don't know if that helps anything but that's what I'm seeing. The MP4s have SRT files whereas the MKV has both video and subtitle in the same container so maybe that has something to do with it?
FlyGuy94 6 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah it really annoying not having subtitles. They work perfectly fine on the web cliënt. I am also using a linux server with kodi cliënt on rpi1.
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Any update on this? I'm still not having subs on latest beta.
xnappo 1605 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 @@FlyGuy94 - what exactly is your issue? Subtitles should work.. 1
Angelblue05 4131 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Subtitles should be fixed. I have no issue over here. Are subtitles enabled for your videos? When playing content, in the video osd, open the audio section and make sure that Enable subtitles is checked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 External subs don't work I'dont see them in the subs section in the osd. But internal subs work perfectly fine.
Angelblue05 4131 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Ah yes.... What if you direct stream your content, is it then able to load your external subs with the help of Emby? The issue here is Kodi can't see your directories because we are using plugin redirect to be able to control the playback. So maybe direct streaming would solve this or you can use direct paths instead of plugin redirect (enable in sync options, then reset resync your library).
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Well direct streaming didn't fix it neither did changing it to local paths. If I do that I can't find any files anymore. Can't you use the new server plugin to give the subs to kodi when I start playing something.
Angelblue05 4131 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) If you switched to local path, it requires you to reset resync your library to update your paths to actual directories. You could also merge the subs with the file or use Kodi subs downloader. Edited August 17, 2015 by Angelblue05
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I did a reset twice it didn't change anything. Still saw the art but couldn't open the file. And sorry but I'm not integrating 3000 episodes with 6000 subs that is insane. It is fixable on your end right?
xnappo 1605 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Are you using path substitution? If so - I think you will need to move to using Kodi-based path substitution instead: http://kodi.wiki/view/Path_substitution xnappo
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 nope no path substitution. I don't get it if emby can sent the file why can't it send the subs?
xnappo 1605 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 It is not about Emby 'sending' subs. It is about where Kodi LOOKS for subs.
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Ok but can you guys fix it or is it a problem with kodi you guys can't fix.
xnappo 1605 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) It should be working with the direct paths option - I will take a look tonight. Edited August 17, 2015 by xnappo
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Yeah well maybe it does but I can't check because if I try it and rebuild the library afterwards. It populates it again but when I try to open a file it sais it can't find it and asks I I want to delete it.
