Subtitles wrong language

[Nabukodonosor 20]

Hey guys. I've had this issue for a while. So, I download Serbian subtitles, they have .sr.srt extension. But for some reason, in most cases (not always) they are recognized my Emby (both regular Android and Android TV apps) as Hindi, as the screenshot suggests. Any ideas why this happens?

Also, a suggestion. Why doesn't Emby have a fallback option for subtitles, like many other media players? I mean, if one subtitle language is not available, I would like the next best thing. Many players have this option.

Have you tried the 3-letter ISO standard srp to see if works any better?

I have countless sr.srt (and srp and hr and hrv) subs, not once have they been recognized as Hindi. Is it possible that those are hearing impaired subs, i.e. <moviefilename>.sr.hi.srt? Can you show the exact subs filename for that example?

No. But will do.

Hmm. Some of them are. Interesting. I don't know how this happens. I mean, bazarr gets my subtitles automatically.

You could do a mass search & replace on OS level with a tool of your choice, replace ".hi." with ".sdh." - or strip ".hi" altogether, either should solve the issue. Refresh Metadata afterwards for Emby to pick-up the changes.
