Nicias 2 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi, I currently stream from a Plex server to my Roku 4 (4400X) and I'm thinking of switching to Emby. My library mostly looks like this: Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(progressive), 720x480 [SAR 186:157 DAR 279:157], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 47.95 tbc Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), fltp, 448 kb/s (default) Stream #0:2(eng): Subtitle: dvd_subtitle, 720x480 in MKV containers. My Roku is displaying to a HD tv using HDMI and a 5.1 soundbar using optical. Will the Roku Emby app be able to play the above without downsampling the audio? Will the subtitles be a problem? What if they were .srt's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they were .srt's? Yes. If your Roku is hooked up to a device capable of decoding Dolby. You just press play. It just works. Subtitles are only a problem for SSA/ASS subtitles and any other graphical type. The Roku will only render text from SSA/ASS and not the styling. To get stylized SSA/ASS you need to enable the "burn subtitles" option within the playback section of the settings on the Roku app. All other graphical subtitles (aka dvd_subtitle) will require burning into the video stream to be able to see them. SRT will always display as pure text and without issue of any kind. It just works. Edited February 10, 2020 by speechles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
