Subtitles in Upper Left Corner

[trekflix 6]

@Luke 

I'd like to inform you that the new update (Version 4.9.5.0) has resolved the subtitle issue on LG TVs.

It took a while, but it's finally here.

Thank you!

It's not fixed for those of us running v10. We are waiting for the LG TV client to be updated.

v10 is the beta version? If yes why the most advanced version not include fixed issues?

It's the client code running on the TV that needs to be updated. Not the server code.

I think there was more than one issue with both server and client side issues. This is why it has taken a few goes to fully resolve, and for some the server fix is enough and others need the client fix

Hey there,

Just registered to post that I too am experiencing this.

I have an LG C7 (2017) too with the same issue, subtitles in the top left, doesn't matter what language it is. Weird characters showing for non-english too.

I can confirm I fixed the issue by rolling back from Emby Server 4.9.3.0 to 4.9.1.90.
I am using the latest Emby client on LG TV 1.0.50 also.

Could help me? How did you return to version 4.9.1.90? I also have an LG TV. Thanks!

If you have lots of MKV files with embedded subtitles and need the subtitles a lot then it may be worth going back to the older version, but if you can put up with it a bit longer and download SRT files instead of embedded, you may save yourself a bunch of work. That's my strategy at the moment as given the developers have submitted the updated client code to LG for approval, it may not be much longer now.

I think you will likely cause more issues trying to downgrade the server. I would suggest waiting for the client update which should be soon

HI, apologies for the delay. We should have a server update out soon to resolve this. Thanks.

Hi Luke can you tell me if there is any progress on the issue being solved is it the LG app that's the concern or Emby App ver 4.9.5.0 I would be grateful for any information you may be able to supply.

Regards Wayne

4.9.5.0 fixed it for some LG TVs, while others have to wait for the next LG client update, which is currently in testing at LG. We're all just waiting now.
