Can Screen Grabber be upgraded?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Many Chinese TV dramas have lines embedded in their videos,

This has led to many screenshots containing dialogue.

Is there a way to avoid this situation through any algorithm?

 

 

The screenshot is as follows (for example only):

From the third episode onwards, many of the images obtained by Screen Grabber are like this.

What visual processing software can be used to exclude the presence of subtitles when they appear directly below?

I think They need a screenshot, to see what you mean.

Are these media files, with burned in subtitles.

If they are burned into the file you have, they are part on the media picture, and cant be removed.

Thats all about embedded vs burned in.

I know that in Chinese TV dramas, subtitles are embedded in videos because there are too many Chinese people. Perhaps this is the best solution to ensure that everyone can see the video normally.

So the subs are hardcoded and can't be removed ?

I think this kind of image is better:

There are no subtitles, actors are centered, or images of actors are highlighted.

Ok I see, its not in your media file.

But the image files you pull from  Begin Again: Sæson 1 (2020) — The Movie Database (TMDB) (themoviedb.org) 

I'm just giving an example. There are also many images like that in my emby, most likely captured through Screen Grabber. That's why I wanted to ask if it's possible to upgrade Screen Grabber.

It has been asked for a LONG time that Emby provide a variable for the index that Emby uses to select which image to use for screen capture or bif files or chapter markers and Emby has often seemed receptive to that idea but, so far, nothing has happened. But we should not give up hope as Emby has a LOT on their plate and in many cases images is simply not "important" enough to spend much time on.

Thanks @Gilgamesh_48 I was trying to see if it came from TMDB or something hardcoded into media files.
