ssinno28 0 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Hello, If I have a movie with multiple formats (1080p, 720p for instance) and I go to download subtitles, it only downloads subtitles for whatever the default selection is, which in my case is 720p. How do I get the download to create multiple ssa or srt files with the proper naming conventions?

ssinno28 0 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 I see, okay right now I'm literally just making a copy of the files that I download and renaming them to match the other formats. Its working for now but is a lot of work.
Luke 42080 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 The automated downloading features will download for both, just fyi.
ssinno28 0 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 I'm not sure I've figured out the automated downloading, it doesn't seem to do anything for me after updating the subtitle settings in the admin dashboard. Does it only download the subtitles if the video has a foreign audio track?

ssinno28 0 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Posted February 4, 2023 I have, seems like I've been able to get it to download for the default media file, but still doesn't get a subtitle file for every video format.
pwhodges 2012 Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 SRT files are not resolution aware; ASS/SSA files are generally OK in any resolution, though that can vary. Paul

ssinno28 0 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Posted February 7, 2023 If I have a movie with two different formats (720p & 1080p) it only downloads the subtitles for 720p.

Paul It seems like Emby only notices the file if it is named exactly like the mp3 it is meant for, are you saying that I can have a single ASS or SSA file that will work for all formats?
pwhodges 2012 Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 SRT, certainly; ASS/SSA, typically. Paul

If I have two movies Batman - 720p.mp4 and Batman - 1080p.mp4 for instance, how do I name the SRT file so that Emby shows it as an option for both of those resolutions?

visproduction 315 Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 If you have -720P and -1080P director's cut, then the subtitles would need to different for both versions. For that situation it makes sense to match a srt file with each resolution version size and you would not want one subtitle that does both.

It will definitely try to get subtitles for both. It's possible it just couldn't find any for the 1080p version. We'd have to look at a specific example. How to Report a Problem

Sorry, I didn't think of the name matching, because I embed all my subtitles. Yes, if you have two resolutions of the same video, they will have to have different names, and the same will go for separate subtitle files alongside them. However, what I said remains true for the contents of those files, so just making two copies of the same file with the necessary names will work fine. Of course, if the sources of the different resolution videos are themselves different, you may have an issue with timing offset, or even drift (especially if one is from a PAL DVD), but you'd expect that.
