martinandres987 0 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hello everyone, my English is not very good but we will try my luck asking if anyone knows if there is any way to change the size or at least the color of the subtitles when you send content from android to a chromecast or if there I post it on github for them to add in a next version if it is possible the solution of it ... From already thank you very much to anyone that I can answer this question ... Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guastucci01 0 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I started using Emby and I was fascinated with application, mainly with the information that the video library provide us and with the speed of connection between my computer and the Chromecast. I use the application on my mobile device (galaxy S6). However, the subtitles are too small, really small, and I can barely read, so, it is impossible to use the Emby in my case because I'd need larger subtitles. I wouldn't need or subtitles of another color (like yellow, but say it would be great) just need the subtitles were higher. There is something in production in this sense? Thanks a lot and congrat ´ s Award for outstanding application/server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costib 1 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Hello Luke & Emby team, good job and I wish you good luck with Emby. I'm first time testing it and possible switch away from Plex, but I have two show stoppers on Chromecast - I'll write them here, don't want to start a new topic: 1. Two issues related to subtitles: A. Subtitle Size on Chromecast are too small, see attached pictures related to Plex and MPC-HC(Emby is in middle picture). B. Subtitle Align: - subtitle text on 2 lines should be align-bottom, as much as possible on the bottom black line(see right picture above, perfect custom aligned on MPC-HC). - subtitle text on one line is aligned bottom-first line, but should be aligned bottom-second line(Emby is in middle picture). 2. Photos on Chromecast: - photos are not displayed on Chromecast, just the folder name(same issue described here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/38690-pictures-not-broadcasted-to-chromecast/) Regards, Costi B.

Luke 36879 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I've pushed an update to our chromecast receiver to put the subtitles at the bottom and increase the font size by 20%. Please wait about 10 minutes, then reboot your chromecast device, restart the app you're casting from and try again. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costib 1 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Thanks Luke, looks different(better) now. Can we fine tune it a bit more? Something like positioning a bit more down(with about half a text line) and increase another 5%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 For right now I will increase another 5%, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikiwi 32 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 When will subtitles for recorded TV be brought back? This has not been working for some months. Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 When will subtitles for recorded TV be brought back? This has not been working for some months. Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk I fixed them recently for Next PVR by adding the media probe of the live stream, but then I had to remove it for Next PVR due to playback failures. So the reason you are not getting subtitles is because Emby is not aware of them. We will have to revisit this later, but in all other playback scenarios it should work fine. What you should do is take your recorded tv out of next pvr and just add it to Emby as a regular video library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikiwi 32 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Thanks for the tip Luke, I'll do that Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikiwi 32 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I've tried adding the shared network Recorded TV folder to Emby, as Content type - TV, and Movies. Previously I had the Content type set as Unset (mixed content) None of these display subtitles when Chromcasting to my TV. What steps am i missing in my setup?

Luke 36879 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 You need to play them through the regular emby library and not the live tv section. if you're still having an issue please provide the information requested in how to report a media playback issue.

rikiwi 32 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Still not seeing any subtitles when casting to TV from latest Android app. Please find 3 logs from server and 1 log from App. (Prior to conducting this test I deleted all previous logs) Let me know if you need any more info.

Luke 36879 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 it's trying to transcode because of the subtitles. i will add dvb_subtitle to the supported direct play formats because i'm sure libvlc can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Actually that will only help local playback, not chromecast. we'll have to look into that more closely for chromecast. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikiwi 32 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Thanks Luke for all you efforts. I don't know if this is related or helps, but subtitles work fine in Emby Theater, but not in the Server itself. Subs used to work in the server in the past.

I'm a new user and I really like the work here, however I'm using Plex only because of the way subtitles work on Chromecast. Both actually, Emby to navigate and Plex for the play. From the discussion above, it looked like it was fixed, but for me I still see not aligned with the bottom and they are a little to big. Choosing the size can be better, since each one wants different. Aligned in the bottom is really necessary. Also, I use SRTs in Portuguese, letters like ã, í, ó that are used a lot, shows as a symbol. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the symbols, you can fix this by making sure the subtitles are named with with language code in the file name: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Subtitles The next release of Emby Server will actually add language detection, so it might not be entirely necessary anymore once that is released, although explicitly naming them will always be recommended.
