ALIENQuake 0 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Hi, How I can disable adding country code subtitle filename? So instead of MovieName.pl.srt Emby will download MovieName.srt file?
Abobader 3307 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Hello ALIENQuake, Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team
Luke 39648 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Hi, we don't currently have any options for this. Out of curiosity, why do you want this? 1
ALIENQuake 0 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Well, it's pretty oblivious: if the subtitle filename won't match movie filename, it won't be automatically loaded by TV player.
pwhodges 1814 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 It can match the movie name and then have a language code (or, but not and, a name) and/or a "forced" indicator. So long as the movie name is matched at the start, the match is made. This enables subtitles in multiple languages to be provided, for instance. Paul

Happy2Play 9352 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 If this is only a specific client issue it should be moved to that client section. You do not have issues with these subtitle naming and any other client correct?
ALIENQuake 0 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 @Happy2Play Why you think it's client issue? The opensubtitles.org provided correct filename for subtitles. It's the Emby who rename it and add extra 'language code'.
crusher11 945 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 The language code isn't "extra", it tells Emby what language the file is. Subtitle files on OS have all sorts of random names. Emby edits the entire thing to be compatible with its naming system, including the language flag.
seanbuff 1092 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 @ALIENQuake can you clarify - are you suggesting you are having issues playing back the subtitles using the LG Emby client? or are you using a TV player outside of Emby and having issues loading the subs?

I'm not using LG Emby client, I'm using Emby DLNA media server. When I add new move to the library, Emby downloads subtitle but because it has extra language code, LG internal player can't find subtitle.

The issue is that, if we were to remove that code, then none of our other apps would know what language it was which could make it very hard to select. 1
Carlo 4546 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 DLNA is the most basic of basic playback and if possible should be avoided. Any device with an Emby Client should use that instead for a much better playback experience. There is only so much that can be done with DLNA and each DLNA device does things a bit different.
rbjtech 4919 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) It's a fair observation - maybe add 'no language' to the library subtitle settings and it will then create a copy of the subs based on the other selection. ie you get 2 identical files but named differently. For English - movie.en.srt and movie.srt However if you have more than one language selected, then you have the question which one should it use to copy from (probably the default language in the main settings) ... Edited January 4, 2021 by rbjtech
Carlo 4546 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I suppose if you always wanted just one language to be used a batch file could be run to copy one particular language over to the DLNA version needed. Personally I'd try and avoid this completely by not using DLNA if possible and using the Emby Client for the device.
rbjtech 4919 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Sure - it's easy enough to fix, but as emby has an out the box DLNA option, then making subtitles compatible with that option should work without resorting to scripts or hacks ...
ALIENQuake 0 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 I'm using DLNA because I have also other movie sources and switching apps is waste of the time. I'm not doing anything fancy or unsupported, DLNA should work out-of-the-box for default configuration. The renaming files is workaround, can't be used for long-term. Please allow for not adding language code either by rbjtech suggestion or by some advanced setting
Carlo 4546 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Well as stated DLNA is only going to do the basics and isn't meant to be a client replacement. To get advanced/full functionality beyond basics requires using an Emby app. Sorry you feel having to load/switch an app is a waste of time, but I'm sure you have to load the Netflix app to use it, the Prime app for Prime, etc. In order to get the most out of Emby you'll need to use an Emby app.

ALIENQuake 0 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 Ok, so I try to use official Emby app: - I'm forced to watch 10 seconds of the same 'premium advertisements' - what's worse, I need to click 'Continue' after the waiting time - I can't adjust subtitles synchronization If this is what you propose to the ' most basic of basic playback' then I will pass. Now, the developers of MPC had no trouble to provide advanced settings to not add country code: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/issues/640 Can you do the same?
ALIENQuake 0 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 I never said that, I understand that project of such scope requires founding. I'm accepting to not use premium and limit myself to DLNA-way because I can't accept the above annoyances. But right now, I can't since subtitle download doesn't work on the standard setup. All I'm asking is simple 'if (AddLangCodeWhenSaveSubtitles -eq false) { do not add lang code into filename }.

Carlo 4546 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I believe the moral is that this user finds Emby Premiere" or an "Unlock" as the annoyance.
