heula 189 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 I also don't see any subtitles yet. I have tested with and without the .nl.srt after the filename. Both no subtitles visable. Log needed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvtm 13 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 So I randomly started getting subtitles today on a Philips Smart Tv that I've been using for some time. It never before got subtitles. I've been using it without a dedicated dlna profile and absolutely nothing has changed except that there are now subtitles. According to the logs it's now transcoding. Now if only the sony blu ray would cooperate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvtm 13 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ok, so I now have subtitles on both my Phillips TV and my Sony blurays player. The trick, it seems, was deleting the custom profiles I had previously (before the latest update) and just letting the server load a generic profile. What I wasn't expecting though was the dramatic decrease in audio quality. Of course this is solely my fault- I should have realized that transcoding would degrade quality somewhat. I could handle the slight decrease in image quality but the audio suffered a lot. I went from 1.5Mbps DTS to 92kbps AAC. Is there some way to limit the loss? Anyway, I think I'll just stick with MBClassic on the big screen and just use DLNA on the smaller Phillips which is being used in stereo only anyhow.

Luke 37090 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 the transcoded audio bitrate should be increased. i'll have to look at that. but regardless, coming from dts-hd it's not going to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvtm 13 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hey @@Luke, thanks for your attention to this matter. I completely understand that there will be some loss during transcoding. Anything you can do to amp it up would be great, though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvtm 13 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 To be fair, I just thought to check my transcoding settings and saw I had set to Auto, will try high settings tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvtm 13 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Is there a way to give each user a different transcoding preference? This seems to be a universal setting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 11, 2014 by Jvtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula 189 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) What is the status on this. A few server updates further but I still don' t see subtitles or the button enabled where I can set them on my samsung smart tv. Is a log required?

heula 189 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I have subtiles visable now on my Samsung smart tv. But when there are external subtitles available the fast forward or skip buttons are no longer working. Also the video (MKV H264) is not playing smooth at all. I see the loading icon at the top right of my tv appearing every now and then. No problems playing the same videos with Samsung All Share.

HomerS 8 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 For me subtitles has stopped working with latest dev build, it works just fine in build Version 3.0.5347.22095 but after that externals subs is not showing on my LG 55LA640 so something must be broken/changed. Another thing I noticed in the dev build is that MediaInfo is unavailable if there is no metadata downloaded for a tv episode or movie. Hope Luke and the other gurus here can fix it again , MB3 is without a doubt the best choice nowdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media without metadata will no play external subtitles but after doing a manual refresh metadata os showing and subtitles as well. It's the same behaviour if I use the web as well as DLNA.

Same goes for subtitles and playback on Chromecast as well , media without metadata does not show subtitles either. Playback on Chromecast also have another small bug, when replaying a media with subtitles the playback has 2 rows of subtitles instead of one. Casting a channel after playing a media with subtitles results in subtitles from that media beeing showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula 189 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Any chance we can use fast forward etc. buttons again when subtitles are present? We now have subtitles visable and working now but the fast forward etc. buttons no longer have a function. Samsung Smart TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
