There is a bug in version 2.3.8 with .ass files

[MediaEmby1968 76]

Hi, there's a bug in the new Samsung version 2.3.8. It turns out that if I try to watch a series with external .ass subtitles, it doesn't recognize the file and always displays this error: "There was an error processing the request. Please try again later."

And there's no way to view the file. This didn't happen with version 2.3.4, which is the one I had. It only happens with .ass files. If there are no subtitles, it works fine, but if there are .ass subtitles, it gives this error.

To be able to view these files, I had to install the version that came with the TV, version 2.2.8.

HI, please try the 2.3.9 update and let us know how that compares. Thanks.

[MediaEmby1968 76]

Stay the same. Gives the same error.

Hi Luke, here's the record. I already explained my problem in the first post.

Does 2.3.9 have all the latest fixes, or do we need another build?

This looks like an old 2016 K series model. I’ll have to do a test in the emulator. 
 

@MediaEmby1968I might need another log with debug logging enabled. Were there any ffmpeg logs?

@SamES As you correctly stated, the TV is from 2016. With version 2.3.4, which I was using, I didn't have any problems, but with versions 2.3.8 and 2.3.9 I'm having this issue with external .ass subtitles.

Here's the new log from when I reinstalled version 2.3.9 (I was using version 2.2.8 on the TV), and also the log with debugging enabled. In neither case does it show any FFmpeg logs.

I can't see any request for the video file in the log, so it's failing before even getting to the subtitle request. 

If you turn off subtitles before you start playback, does it play? Can you please send me a server log with that test?

I'm also seeing some of these errors in your logs. Does the server have a working internet connection?

I can't disable the subtitles because the option isn't available. When I go to the TV series library, select the series, and then choose the episode, it gives me an error. But if I remove the subtitle file directly on the PC, it works. That's why I think the problem is with the .ass files.

I've also tried other series with episodes that have .ass subtitles, and the same thing happens.

My server is a PC with a wired internet connection for both the TV and the PC.

My internet provider is DIGI, which uses CGNAT.

But I've been using Emby for several years with the same provider and haven't had any problems until version 2.3.8.

This doesn't really make sense to me. For the file you tested in the previous server log, can you please send a screenshot of the Media Info detail at the bottom of the item detail screen on the server? I'm interested to see what streams it has identified.  I can't understand why you don't have an option to turn off the subtitles.

From the Server (The PC), I don't have any problems, the problem is in the TV app. There I cannot access, either through the "Continue Viewing" section or by directly accessing the library, it gives me an error. And it is not only with .ass subtitles, but also with external .srt subtitles (Checked this morning), if they are internal there is no problem.

Here I leave you a capture of multimedia information

Can you try deleting the server from the client, then re-add it and try again. It seems like something has become corrupted.

It might even be worth fully uninstalling the app from the TV, then remove power from the TV for a few minutes, then try reinstalling the client.
