rb07 0 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hi, Version 3.4.1.0 fixed the DLNA server (on Synology) not seen problem. But my first test was a video, Matroska container, with EAC3 audio, which my TV can't play. So I changed the Sony Bravia 2013 profile, deleting that codec (and adding dac,dts -- which this TV, in this country, plays fine). Success! Audio is transcoded, and it works on the TV (before it didn't, and a message about the format not supported appears). Then I tried to activate the subtitles... nothing, as if the video didn't have subtitles. But the container does have one, srt subtitle. Is this a bug? srt subtitles is included in the info tab on the profile, as supported by the device (and they work fine with many other mkv files, using a different DLNA server). Also I don't expect, or want, subtitle burning. These direct-play fine, as implied by the profile. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb07 0 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I see the problem now: in the transcoding log ffmpeg-remux-425b406d-38f8-4c3a-be2c-a2029f457c6c.txt the commands used didn't map all streams, only the video, and audio. Also transcoding to mpeg-ts doesn't support subtitles, I assume the server provides the subtitles in a separate stream, with the original file perhaps? If I understand correctly you need a "-map 0" to map everything, before using the other individual stream mappings. Obviously this means the server will be streaming Matroska, not mpeg-ts.

Luke 37062 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 @@rb07, do the 2013 sony's even support externally supplied subtitles? I didn't think they did and that's why they're not in our profile. that means any external subtitles will require burn in with server transcoding. please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Luke 37062 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 In post #3, I think what you're asking is that we remux and embed all subtitles, but actually we only embed the selected subtitle track. You should at least be seeing that, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I do know it supports Matroska container with multiple subtitles. That never has required burning the subtitles obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should at least be seeing that, right? No, nothing is embedded. I think that should be obvious from the logs I included. By "selection" I think we are talking about 2 different things. I was talking about the usual selection on the TV, using the subtitles button to select no subtitles, or one, or another, etc. Perhaps you mean selecting the subtitle on the Emby interface... I'm not even sure if that is an option, but I do have it on Plex, but never use it. Also when I said (or implied) all subtitles, I was thinking of streaming the full Matroska container, with everything it has in it (i.e. several audio streams, subtitle streams, chapters); which is what happens actually when no audio transcoding is necesary. Then I saw the command used to stream the video by Emby, and that it produces mpeg-ts which doesn't support subtitles as a sub-stream, only burned.

rb07 0 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Feel free to close this topic, as solved. Knowing that when audio needs to be transcoded (because the TV doesn't support a format) you need to burn in the subtitles (choosing them before plays start) is a valid answer. Doing what I wanted, just transcode the audio, leave everything else in the Matroska container... has to be done independent of the media server. Anyway it turned out I have to do the transcoding myself because the TV is also very picky about the Matroska format, only plays standard doctype 1 Matroska (haven't tried types 2, or 3), so I have to use mkclean on the files anyway.

Yes by selecting subtitles i mean in the remote control interface from Emby, prior to playback. Is that what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The button labeled CC (Subtitles), that's what I was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
