Do users need to download the file again once new srt files were added?

[ItayT 5]

I've had some users download a movie with no subtitles at all, but I've since added a new srt file.

Will their Android client download the subtitles automatically? If not, is there a way to download just the subtitles or will the entire movie have to be redownloaded?

 

Thanks!

.srt are so small, you could just email them a copy or place it somewhere online and send them a link.  They would need file manager software to place it beside their downloaded copy and whatever player they are using to playback the media also needs to be able to see the .srt files.  As long as the files have the same name with dot extensions like .en.srt or .en.default.srt, their local player should recognize the srt file.

I do not see an option to download the .srt file from inside a user's emby login on the media page, but maybe there is a way.

Hope that helps.

Hi, currently they would need to redownload it.

Thanks Luke!

It'd be useful to implement syncing of downloaded items
