Emby add more subtitles than I asked for

[XDavidT 15]

Under each movie/tv show, there a few languages, but they aren't wanted.

 

Under the library the subtitles wasn't selected. And each movie have a local subtitle in the folder from the source of my download, so it's not needed.
How to disable it and prefer only the local file ? (also shows as 'und')

Hi, those are subtitles embedded into your video files. Emby did not download those.

So it's came from the file I've downloaded? no way to ignore them or show first the local file I have in the folder?

Yes those are part of the file. There are currently no options to ignore or change the order of them.

It would be convenient if there was an option to make Emby not to show the embedded subtitles.

I think it has been requested before. I could remux my files and remove them, but I don't want to do that because I want to use them in other players like MPC-HE or MPV.

I always put an external subtitle for Emby in every file because I want to avoid the extraction process of an embedded subtitle.

So I end up with a subtitle option with 2 subtitles of the same language in Emby, the external and the embedded, a subtitle I want to avoid having even as an option in Emby.

Please consider this as a possible option in future, in my humble opinion many people would welcome an option to "get rid" the embedded subtitles without having to remux their files.

Mkv tool nix does a good job of this and only take a few seconds (If the file is on the same device as the program). If your original file is a mkv file you will be changing nothing.
