How to automatically change subtitle?

[mateusfn 0]

Vou ser breve, no meu caso o arquivo já vem com legendas, e ele automáticamente seleciona inglês.
Alguém já conseguiu trocar esse padrão para o PT-BR ???

I download files that already have subtitles. But I can't automatically change the language subtitle in Emby. How can I ?

Example:


I wanna to CR_Portuguese(Brazil) to be selected automatically, can I?

What is your subtitle language setting?

[mateusfn 0]

It's already PT-BR

 

#Edit
In subtitle mode is "always reproduce subtitle" selected, to test some solutions.

How are your subtitle files named?

It's not a file, it's inside the .mkv

The torrent downloads only .mkv and also has subtitles included in the file.

Try adding Portuguese as another subtitle language.

 In your settings you selected pt-br, but I don’t think those subtitles are actually tagged as  that.

I guess one way to check is filtering your library by that subtitle to see if they actually show.  As Emby may not be interpreting the way they are tagged per that naming scheme as Luke mentioned.  As your image suggest Emby only knows they are Portuguese language but does not understand the Title field.

It works, but now the subtitles are delaying.
When the media start, it's not subtitled, but after +- 1 minute paused/playing it appears.

Yeah, probably. Now with Portuguese selected it works, but with the error that I wrote above.

I'd recommend checking your server log for the text "Subtitle extraction took" and see how long it takes for one of the files you saw the delay on.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

I would suggest you remux the file with MKVToolNix which should make it more streaming-friendly and so enable the subtitles to start immediately.  In the process you could remove all the unwanted subs as well, in case that helps.

I downloaded this tool and mark only pt-br subtitle, that's the result:
Log2.txt:
xx:53:31 opened the media
xx:53:48 subtitle extracted
Subtitle extraction took 17.150ms

Hi there, please attach the complete emby server log file, rather than a snippet. Thanks.

Complete log with normal .mkv, not with only portugues subtitles enabled.
Opening a different media and copying the log after subtitles appear.

OK, if you play the same thing again a second time, how does it compare the second time?

[mateusfn 0]

When opening a new media, it loads very fast but has the 20 seconds delay to show subtitle.
Reopening the media has a +- 10 seconds loading screen but the subtitle automatically shows.

embyserver (1).txt

[Luke 42078]

So the subtitles are quicker the second time?

[mateusfn 0]

Yeah, reopening its insta subtitled. Open first time has a 30sec delay.

The error persists. Could have an option to extract all subtitles ?
Before set portuguese as default, if I manually select the portuguese subtitle, was instantly appearing.

UPDATE : @Luke@Happy2Play
In android app the subtitle it's automatically portuguese and very quick, can't reproduce this error. Even entering a new ep. and fowarding a lot, in 2/3 seconds the subtitle is already extracted.

Right the difference is the native android app doesn't have to rely on extraction. It can just play the embedded subtitles directly, so there's no extraction occurring. Browser video players can't do that.

Oh, okay  
I was going to test windows app if it happens, but I don't have emby premium...  
So is a common problem, it's alright, thanks for the help!!

The windows app will perform like the android app. It won't need any extraction.
