stefgun 0 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hi there! After the problems with changing audio track, I noticed another severe problem with Emby on my webOS-TV: I cannot turn off subtitles. I can SELECT them to be turned off (and also have turned them off generally in the options), but they still show, which is super-annoying, because I usually don't want them to. So far, this has happened with all files I tried that have subtitles. Webplayer does not have this issue. My TV: LG 55LB674V-ZB webOS version 1.4.0-2529 (the TV says it is on the latest version) firmware is 5.5.70 Emby app is 1.0.17 Emby server is 4.2.1.0 Log: embyserver.txt File info from webplayer for one of the files I have tested: ffmpeg-remux-1039c54a-c02b-4269-8349-a90ac979c1a2_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 28652 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hi, this is due to a defect in older versions of WebOS where it always plays subtitles no matter what we tell it to do. We're going to have to resolve this by forcing a conversion on the server to strip out the subtitles. We just haven't gotten to this yet but we'll get it into an upcoming update. Thanks.

stefgun 0 Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thanks for the quick reply! Will there be any downside to this, like significantly increased load on the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 28652 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 If it is just remuxing then the load won't be too heavy. It is what it is. Not much choice unless we just want to live with users constantly reporting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slennox 0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Hi, Any updates on this issue? Any workaround we could test? When playing any Live TV channel whose stream includes subtitles, they are always shown by the LG Web player and can't be disabled. No matter what configuration you select on client or server side. LG Smart TV (55EG920V-ZA) webOS TV 2.2.3-1353 (beehive-biscayne) Emby Theater 1.0.24 Emby Server Versión 4.5.0.13 beta Thank you.

Luke 28652 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Not yet, sorry. We have to build a special hack for this and we haven't completed it yet. Hopefully soon. Thanks for the feedback. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hack workaround we're going to have to incorporate in order to skirt around a WebOS defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for your answer, Luke. Your product is really good, but is useless with the captions always on, and as far as I see you have been for years like that. I hope you reconsider investing some resources in finding the solution so you allow LG users to use your nice software. Meanwhile I will step down from your premiere service until solved. Please let us posted of any change. Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
