Luke 37095 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 We can't put DTS into an HLS stream, so that is why this is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otispresley 81 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Is there no solution? Does this means you have to either use text subs or transcode everything? The Sony TV is using the TV speakers, and the Shield TV is connected to an AVR that supports everything. The logs were taken from the Sony TV app. Edited January 21, 2019 by otispresley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otispresley 81 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I hope it happens soon. I have been trying to get rid of Kodi and move to the Emby client for years, but there is always something that keeps me from using it. Until 4.0, it was poor live TV performance...it is MUCH better now; there are still some features that would make it ideal, like recording based on string match. This subtitle issue means that I still have to use Kodi to watch movies and TV shows, and might as well just keep using TVheadend for live TV so I don't have to switch between apps. :-( Emby is so close...especially since 4.0 brought so many improvements! Thanks for all the hard work too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14923 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Isn't that already implemented? on my end I get direct playback of those subs. Yes, it is already supported. The problem here is that the item cannot direct play due to the incompatible audio (DTS). So, once it needs to transcode, if you also require PGS subs, then this is going to cause a burn-in of those subs. For now, obtaining text-based subs would be your best answer and would allow the video to just stream-copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagined that, something similar happened to me, I asked the question here and I received a similar response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ng_Lear 185 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I wish you could do the same with VobSub, I'm still waiting for direct play for those... Is there any plan to add the support for VobSub and ASS/SAA on the android TV App? Maybe, this would be the overkill, a option to modify color and font of srt subs, like in Kodi, too? Only a question, still now I am fine with kodi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internal ASS/SSA should work now as long as the other characteristics of your media will allow it to direct play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otispresley 81 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 So, I tested this after allowing Open Subtitles to download the .srt file for the file I tested above. Even the .srt subs and my account set to Only Image Formats does not display any subtitles when playing direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For best performance, you don't want image formats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not working, @@Luke I set it like this and still no subs are displayed when direct playing on my Android TV...only when transcoding does it display. I can manually select the SRT subs while it is playing and still nothing displays. I can open the .srt file and see that there are subs in there. EDIT: Nevermind, I see the problem. The SRT file that was downloaded from Open Subtitles has no subtitles until 00:35:29, and the PGS subs have subs starting at 00:03:08, so the ones from Open Subtitles are incomplete.
