rhodges 37 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 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.

rhodges 37 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37019 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 No, we auto-generate the title for external subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhodges 37 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
