No Subtitles found with TV Shows and Subs folder

[sparticle 2]

I have a number of TV Shows with the following structure.

TV Show Name>Season number>Episode name.mkv or avi etc.

Within each Season Folder there is a folder called Subs which has the following structure Subs>Episode name folder>all of the various language .srt files. E.g 3_English.srt, 5_Arabic.srt etc.

None of the subtitles are found when scanning in the TV Show. 

I am having to manually create a subtitle file as Episode name.3_English.srt for instance and place that file in the Season Number Folder alongside the .mkv file. Then it appears in the subtitle list. 

This is a total PITA for a large series.

The documentation seems to suggest Emby should read the Subs directory and the subtitles.

Can anyone assist please.

Cheers

Many thanks, but it is not working for me!

I have an entire series with Season folders and a Sub folder in each season with folders named for each episode containing all of the various .srt files. 

None are picked up on a scan.

Example structure for the Show, Season and Subs.

Each Sub folder is named identically to the episode and contains the various .srt files.

None are picked up on scanning. If I manually create a sub file such as  Invasion.2021.S01E01.1080p.WEBRip.x265-RARBG[eztv.re].2_English.srt by renaming one of the .srt files and moving it up a directory to the season folder it is picked up after rescanning.

OK the issue is due to the extra subfolder under the subs folder. I have not seen that variation before.

Thank you for the prompt reply. 

Is there a solution or do I need to manually do them?

We'd have to add support for that. What software saved them like that?

Transmission.

OK never heard of that. I wonder if some of the more popular tools save like this?

That means they're downloaded like that since Transmission is a torrent client.
