Emby does not start playing when subtitles are turned on

Hi,

 

I just installed Emby Server version 3.0.5768.7 on Windows (and on Debian 8) and I have the same issue :

With some mkv files, the playing in the Web browser does not start properly. No error message, just a background screen according to the selected movie.

 

When I check process status, ffmpeg is running but it does not consume CPU.

Moreover, ffmpeg is still running when I stop the player

 

I finaly found a workaround by disabling subtitles and clicking to play again.

 

Please find attached bellow :

- Transcode log with subtitles disabled

- Transcode log with subtitles enabled

- Server Log

(All extracted from my Debian 8, my Windows Server is busy at this time, I can extract it later if it is necessary)

 

How can I solve this issue ?

 

Best regards,

transcode with subtitles enabled.txt

the subtitles have to be burned in which can be pretty taxing. if these subtitles were external, the app would just download and display them separately.

 

if interested, try playing in Chrome. if that helps then upgrade to firefox 42 beta, which adds new features and makes the video streaming more like chrome.

Hi Luke (may the force be with you :P )

 

Unfortunately, I have the same issue with Chrome 46...

Does I understand that subtitles integrated with MKV are not playable with Emby at this time ?

no they are playable, and work fine for a lot of people. it is just not performing very well on your machine.

When you said "my machine" you should means my server ? or my client machine ?

 

For your information I have this issue only with a significant part of my MKV files. But the main part of my MKV works properly.

With the same machine, Plex Media Server works like a charm.

Yes, I'm uploading an example file to a private server.

Hi Luke,

 

Have you found the time to test the mkv file provided last friday ?

 

Best regards and thank in advance for your feedback :)

This works fine here. I think what's happening is that it's slow to burn in the subtitles on your machine. For the next release, we're going to eliminate the burn in which should help it start quicker.
