Playing videos with DTS sound + PGSUB subtitles doesnt work


Recommended Posts

Posted
Has anyone actually got this to work properly? I'm using emby on my nvidia shield.
 
My sound system is Arc + Sub + Era 300 Rears.
 
When I play a movie with DTS sound and the included "PGSUB" subtitles the file cant play, its just buffering.
 
If I either:
 
  1. Turn off DTS pass-through in Emby settings
  2. Turn off the PGSUB subtitles
  3. Turn off PGSUB subtitles and find manual subtitles on opensubtitles and use that SRT file instead
 
It works. Problem is that I dont want to turn off pass-through and I would like to original subtitles.
 
I understand that this happens because the transcoding gets to heavy, but is there any work around? The same file plays perfectly on Kodi with the PGSUB subtitles. I rather use emby than Kodi and since the same file works there I suppose there has to be a fix?

Sure, this is older but still the same problem.

@spaxx24can we please look at a specific example using the version of Emby Server that you're running now?

Yes, I add them here. I try to play a movie with DTS sound and the PGSUB subtitles. It's just buffering and then I back out after 2 min or something

Hi.  How were these items created?  It looks like there are multiple errors trying to direct play them and then ffmpeg isn't even getting going in most instances.

Can you please play that item for a few seconds and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

I sent the logs right now, around 14.00 -5 UTC.

What I did was I started Quantum Of Solace, with DTS sound passthrough on and subtitles OFF. It worked.

 

Then I turned English subtitles on and it buffered for like 1 min maybe, played 5 seconds and then buffered again. I let it to this maybe 3 times and then I sent the logs.

Hi.  What was the name of the logged in user and the name of the server connected to?  The one log I see around that time was for something without PGS subtitles (nor DTS audio).

Okay, so the item played in that log did not have PGS subs nor DTS audio.  It was AC3 with closed captions (appears to have been a recording).

In any case, it appears Luke is onto the solution.  Thanks.

The latest beta seems to work a bit better, but still not good enough to work
