ezzah 3 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This is an issue concerning playing SSA/ASS subtitle files in the Emby Web app. I generally want to disable extraction on the fly because it takes too long for subtitles to appear and would prefer burning in since the hardware should be able to do it. Issue: When the subtitle extraction is disabled, it can take up to a minute for playback to begin with ASS/SSA files on the web app. I have attached the playback log.

Luke 37009 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hi, burning in subtitles is a very costly process, and it's normal that it may cause playback to take longer to start. In fact, the fastest transcoding speed you're getting in this log is 18 fps, which is not even fast enough to be playbable. For best performance i would suggest external ssa/ass as you'll get the best of both worlds with that. The soon to be released Emby Server 4.6 will also have updated vendor libraries which may bring some improvement as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzah 3 Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Ok thanks for clarifying. I just expected my hardware to be able to burn subtitles since it was possible on plex. I will wait for the next update to see if it improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 634 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Nothing wrong with your hardware. A Coffee Lake Xeon with graphics? No, not at all. I would attribute this to software or even Docker. What is the host OS and have you considered trying a host installation of Emby instead of Docker? As Luke stated above it looks like the next release will bring overall improvements including updates to ffmpeg and libs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzah 3 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I haven't tried installing on host installation (less convenient then having multiple microservices in docker) although if normal transcode is happening fine and only SSA/ASS has issues I doubt it's a docker implementation problem, but who knows. Just updated to 4.6 and QSV doesn't seem able to burn-in at all for ASS/SSA (subtitle extraction off) just gives me a playback error from the Emby Web app. I will drop some logs soon when I have some more time.
