MagicRin 7 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) When I was organizing the movie, I found that sometimes the subtitles could match the timeline and sometimes they couldn't.After repeated experiments, I found that the timeline of the video itself is sometimes inconsistent with the real one.The emby dashboard shows this video as a direct play.I am very confused why this problem occurs, please help me! PS: These two pictures of the scene almost 3 seconds apart Edited July 7, 2021 by MagicRin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicRin 7 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 When I play a movie with an external ass subtitle, sometimes the subtitle will be displayed only after a few seconds after the movie starts playing. This results in a phenomenon like the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi, looks like the browser video player is having trouble with the file. As a test, if you lower the in app quality setting to force a full transcode, does it happen then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, I've tested it many times and it only seems to have this problem when playing directly, I haven't had the same problem again when doing transcoded playback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 As a test could you try running this media file through a remux process? MKVToolNix or ffmpeg could be used to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 This is playing direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Also what is the phenomenon in the picture? It's unclear just by looking at it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, when playing this video directly using emby, the timeline of the video is misaligned, for example a few seconds slower than the real timeline. Let me give you an example: the timeline of the first picture of this post shows 14:47, but the picture may actually be a 14:50 picture, while the second picture is the correct 14:47 picture (using PotPlayer). There doesn't seem to be this problem when using emby for transcoding playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 This to me sounds like a slight issue with the media itself that Emby is able to fix with a transcode. First thing I would try is is remux of the file with a tool such as ffmpeg or MKVToolnix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, this is not the only film with this problem, I have several episodes with similar problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks, That matches what you showed with PotPlayer. I will need to do some testing to see why Emby's timeline is off a smidge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
