Luke 37058 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Well it's only for videos that are in their own folder. It's not really for episodes that are all combined into a season folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heval 4 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 the subs folder works fine IF the subs are matched by movie file name. But there are many cases the subs folder only contains .srt files that has the language in the name but not the movie file name. As this subs folder is part of the movie folder. But Emby does not recognize those subs. If I change one sub manually to match the movie file name, it does work. It there any way that Emby could recognize those Language.srt subs? Or renaming it to match the movie file name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnwinger 7 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Having the same issue as Heval detailed above. Any chance of recognizing subtitles in sub folders that are named as shown in the above screenshot? It seems to be a common naming format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already support both subs and subtitles folders underneath movie folders. The subtitle file naming rules still apply though and the files need to be named appropriately based on our subtitle naming guidelines, but we could potentially relax that for this scenario.

cnwinger 7 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Thank you for the info. I think it makes a lot of sense to allow for the selection of any .srt file within the subtitle folder, as a lot of movies do not have subtitle files that match the video filename.

aarongardner17 0 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I think this thread might be the best place for this as seems related to the above question. TV series downloaded with a Subs folder. The Subs folder contains folders named after each episode. Within each folder being a long list of subtitle files with just the language name. Emby can't seem to find the subtitles unless I manually pull out the one I want for each episode and rename it to have a matching filename. Any suggestions within Emby or for a tool or script to do this automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarongardner17 0 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Unsure on software as was a download. It seems to be the default for webripped TV series torrents from RARBG however. I managed to automate renaming with bulk rename utility as a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnwinger 7 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Wouldn't it be easier to just have Emby load any .srt file in a "subs" or "subtitles" folder? Edited June 2, 2022 by cnwinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ran into this issue with a tv show I got today. All eps and I had to download a seperate subtitle pack. When I unzipped that pack I had a subs folder with all the wide assortment of languages. This feature in emby would make it a heck of alot easier seeing as we wouldnt have to rename the subs to reflect the name of the episode. Same with movies so long as there is a .srt file it should pick it up. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I have as an example a tv show file in: TV Shows -> How I Met Your Mother -> Season 1 -> how.i.met.your.mother.s01e01.720p.hdtv.x264.mkv Then for the subtitle: TV Shows -> How I Met Your Mother -> Season 1 -> subs -> how.i.met.your.mother.s01e01.720p.hdtv.x264.srt That would work if I only have 1 video and 1 subtitle? As it is now I have in this example 22 episodes right in the Season 1 folder and then 22 subtitles in the subs folder. All names are matching, but I still can't make it show the subtitles when trying to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just have been more convenient if it could have played all of them from the subs folder as that works for movies, as my tv shows srt files also contain the correct matching name to the mkv files, so it is not really the same problem as some have when they have many different languages and the files doesn't match the mkv file name.

Gnisch 0 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) This thread seems to somehow stay alive. I have a question concerning the naming of the folder for subtitles. I run Emby in docker on a linux machine, and I would very much appreciate if the "subs" folder that emby looked inside could be made case-insensitive. Or at the very least look in both "subs" and "Subs". I know someone posted a script for lowering the case for all subs folders. However that will only resolve the issue at a given moment. What I'd like is a more permanent, or perhaps a more user-friendly, non-user-intervention focused solution. I suppose I could just migrate Emby over to a windows client which seems to solve it for people in this thread, but I really like the small footprint of running in a docker container. Thoughts?
