jinxy88 0 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The problem appeared after the latest 3.3.1.5 update, before this update external subs were working with strm files. Now even if you download one, it will still no show it at all, and sometimes instead of displaying the external subtitle it will display the strm embedded default sub. I have tried this in the web app, emby theater, smart tv and its the exact same situation. You have the server log attached serverlog.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37019 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 What do you mean no show? It can't be selected? Or it is selected but doesn't show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senna 368 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Only in webapp I said, which they can update. Just like all other online Emby config files that are loaded by the Emby apps, without updating the app itself, to fix issues.

jinxy88 0 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I see but for me it still doesnt work, not even in webapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 368 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) It works in web app, you can test this way: Create a new Test library, place a couple of strm with matching srt in it. Play those couple of strm's to let Emby probe media info. Back out of Test library, so that it refreshes the media info and go back in Test library. Before play, select srt to play with and now it should work in webapp. To make it clear, the webapp is the page you land on by pressing the "Emby Web App" button on top of every forum page here. So don't confuse this with http://localhost:8096/web/home.html or whatever your local Emby server address is. Those two can be different, regarding functionality and format support.

Ok @@Luke u can try with the strm files and subs i sent u a while ago. With that 4 tick enabled subs are working on webapp and emby theater but not on emby for samsung ks7500, but it transcodes. Without that tick enabled no external subs working on any app. The subs are all srt files placed in the same folder as strm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
