I hope the emby server can manually add subtitles that have been downloaded locally

You can add a button to add local subtitle

Yes, Emby can handle external SRT files just fine that you already have.
Just make sure they are names correctly.

but after I change the name of the subtitle, it cant be shown at once, should I refresh the database first？

From my experience, always refresh the database when messing with files contained in Emby's library.

Just run a normal library scan. That's all you need to do.

How do you add a button to add local subtitles?

A button is not necessary, are your local subtitles named correctly? See: Subtitles

As follow-up, since this works only in the Premier version, if I have my .SRT files in the same directory as the movie, if I download a movie for offline viewing, Emby will also download the associated .SRT in that same folder. My .SRT are local and converted from my files. So I do not need to download them from the Internet. Hence the specific nature of my question.

Hi, what do you think requires Emby Premiere? You don't need Emby Premiere to use subtitles or download subtitles.

The download feature does require Emby Premiere though.

Thank you for your quick response. 

So if I purchase Premiere, will my own saved subtitles download along with the mpg?

IE. I have a movie, say Home Alone.mpg in a Library along along with my own Home Alone.srt. Will it download both files? IE. does not need to go to the internet to grab an .srt as I already have one timed for my movie.

Hi,

Emby Server won't pull/download a srt file if a srt file is already present.
You want to make sure which languages you have setup to download for each library.
Make sure your subtitles have a language code in the filename.

You can cut down on subtitle downloads with the hash match, not d/ling a sub if the default audio track is the same language chosen for subs.
