Emby does not play subtitles ASS

[noybman 11]

Hey Luke, I am having a similar issue on at least one movie with subtitles. It has subtitles burned in, quite a long list of them too! (like 40+ subs), and if I enable subs, Emby gives the blue circle of death then crashes the play.

If I leave subs off, it plays fine.

I haven't seen this in all movies, and I believe I have others with built in subs that work, but this is an example where it does not.
The log is a fresh start with debug on. Started the movie, the trailers plugin plays two trailers, I skipped to the end of them. The movie begins playing, works just fine. I enable English ASS subs, the movie stops playing, the "emby circle of death" spins for a good hot minute (maybe 20s-30s) then crashes, goes back to the main screen, doesn't play.

This is what is in the log (see attached).

Maybe it has to do with the burned in media, maybe its special characters in the titles? etc....

PS: the folder path I am using for transcoding is fin. nothing has changed here. I'm stillwaiting for an answer on transcoding settings tests: https://emby.media/community/topic/145076-transcoding-tests-broken-unable-to-run-due-to-running-operations/

Again, NOTHING has changed in all of this time, and I have done transcodes, so I know transcodes work sometimes. Anyways, you have a full log, and a description of what I did with that movie so you can correlate it to the logs.

 

Here are the transcoding settings:
