Emby Sync and subtitle files

[moryoav 2]

Hi,

 

An annoying bug (or lack of an important feature). When an item, such as a tv episode, is synced, it also syncs the additional subtitles files which exist along with it. That's great.

*However*, if a subtitle file is only downloaded AFTER the file had been synced, then the item is already marked as synced and the new subtitle file will not be added to the sync queue.

The process which scans for changes in files should also look at the synced files and see if they have new subtitle files, and sync those as well once they become available.

 

Thanks.

Hi, actually this is because we don't currently have any resyncing when the media changes. I'll look at adding this for the next release. If you'd like to help test it should be in the dev and beta branches over the next couple days. Thanks.

Can anyone confirm if this issue still remains? I´m very interested in this but I didnt had any chance to test it lately

it will still exist for external subtitles yes. in the new release i got the ball rolling by triggering a resync whenever the actual media file changes. next i will improve that to also trigger on subtitle changes.
