Hello and thanks for the reply.. ( have been so long time to have a reply from a admin plex or other ) 

 

So i have my media 3TB on my linux ubuntu 14.04 and running emby the latest version and i try to see from windows chrome/ ios and i have issues with my greek subtitles..

 

My syntax movies or series is like this:

 

Movie1 (2016).avi

Movie1 (2016).srt

 

the subtitles are in greek and with kodi/plex is ok i can see the subtitles on playback.. here on emby i also try some of my media and on playback i see the letters with problem i think is encoding problem.. i think the greek subtitles are on encode: iso-8859-7

 

thanks and i hope we will fix it because i like emby

Try renaming the subtitles to 

Movie1 (2016).gre.srt

or

Movie1 (2016).el.srt

You can learn more by checking out our subtitle wiki:

Thanks.

yes it works with .el. but i must edit all srt to do the job? is possible somehow any script to do it? 

 

thanks

Yea i'm sure it can be automated. @@Happy2Play may have some tips about bulk file renaming.

something like that 

 

find . -name '*.srt' | sed 'h; s/.srt$/.el.srt/; H; x; s/\n/ /' | xargs -l mv 

 

its ok thanks.
