gardar 16 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Can we please get a option to store subtitles in another location than the media dir? I can already choose not to store the artwork and metadata in the media folders and I'd like to be able to do the same for subtitle downloads rather than storing the subtitles in the media directory. My library is on a read only network share so Emby can't touch my media dir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderbytes 139 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Don't know why the SRT location near the media would bother someone... but that's not for me to decide. I'm here only to remember that who uses path substitution may be impacted by that, when enabled. Edited March 31, 2016 by anderbytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37099 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It's a good idea, however we don't support it as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a great feature for me. Parallel to my Emby server, I host a FTP server for my content. Would be such a relief to separate my srt files from my media directories. For kicks, I tried making a dedicated subtitles folder and adding that network location to my movies library, but my test subtitle file disappeared after the library scan.

Do you keep all related files in the media folder? Like nfo... poster...banner... etc? Because if so, SRT is just one more file. For me.. keeping all files of a specific context (Ex: movie) is a much more organized way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderbytes 139 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Imagine this scenario: you decided to keep all SRT files in just one folder. No matter what media.... movie... episodes... How... many... TV Shows... use "S01E01 - Pilot" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerprep 142 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Don't know why your panties are getting bunched over this. Not like you'd be forced to do the same thing. But to answer your questions: 1. No, I don't keep all related files in my media folders. As I mentioned, I also host a FTP server to access my media folders. Extra images, nfo's, etc. would muddy that up real quick. 2. Good for you, I'm glad you like organizing that way. 3. Different libraries would easily use their own custom subtitle directory, separating movie subtitles from tv ones from everything ese. TV shows would also naturally follow the standard organizational structure (series/season/episode). Plus, my series title is included in every single episode filename, so your example would actually work just fine.
