Subtitles - Non English Parts

[blue65 2]

G'day

 

I'm trying to get subtitles and the non English parts to work and have a few questions. I see various threads around but nothing current so I just want to make sure of my facts.

 

I have my movie in my folder and I have my srt file in the same folder.

 

Movie Name : <Moviename>.mp4

Subs : <Moviename>.eng.forced.srt

 

Emby Theater is set to Display Forced Subs Only

 

 

The Subtitles work at the appropriate time but I am after the age old "Solution" of only wanting the non English parts to display.

 

Is it true that the srt file can only contain the non English parts for it to work as I would like?

 

Or can the srt have the whole movie in English and Emby play the non English parts only? If this is possible, how do I set this up?

 

I am happy to do a remux of file before adding it to my library so long as the process works if there is a proven method.

 

I download from the opensubtitles website but it always downloads the subtitles for the whole movie.

 

Thanks in advance.

hi @@blue65, the subtitle file should only have the text you want it to display.

 

Open Subtitles does have subtitles with only forced subs. You can usually find them by searching for things like forced only. The problem is their api does not allow us to filter based on this, therefore we can't offer a setting for it.

Let me know if this answers your question. Thanks !

Thanks Luke. I thought that was the situation. Just wanted to have it definitively spelt out so I wasn't missing anything.

 

Keep up the great work.
