I don't know about other containers, but with MKV you can set a track label/title. This is useful with subtitles because you might have 3 english subtitles. Forced, SDH, and full subtitles.

 

If Emby could parse that out and store it, then make that available to clients (and the API) it would really help when choosing a subtitle.

Oh wow, I guess I need to open my eyes and look a little harder. Thanks!

Does Emby support this with external subtitles or could in the future? Something like

 

FileName.language.<optional:default/forced/foreign>.<anything else is title here>.ext

 

Home Alone.eng.SDH.srt  (English - SDH)

or

Home Alone.chi.Dual English.srt (Chinese - Dual English)

No, we auto-generate the title for external subtitles.

Have you seen the subtitles wiki?

That is where I got the Home Alone example. It doesn't address arbitrary title.

 

Specifically now, in Kodi, when you have a title, it shows the subtitle was Language - Title. That works fine when you mux the subtitle into the mkv and give it a title, but I was kinda hoping some magic would be there for external subs.

 

Normally I wouldn't mind, but my use case is, I got married the beginning of the year to a Chinese woman and find myself needing to add Chinese subtitles to my movies. That is fine and all, but I am finding more and more English/Chinese subtitles (which I like) and for now I'm just putting them down as Chinese, but it would nice to property identify them.

 

I could mux them, but I don't really want to mux and change the original mkv file.

 

I understand this isn't much of a priority. I think the way Emby supports external subtitles is probably similar to how other clients handle them and thus this wouldn't really be a much asked for feature. It would be nice, for me anyway, if it did.
