Subtitle language not recognized correctly

[Ballistic 8]

Hi all!

 

I often use included subtitles with releases. They are 2 files, a .idx and .sub file.

The .idx files has, among other stuff, the following lines;

 

# Language index in use

langidx: 0

 

# English

id: en, index: 0

 

 

I recently noticed my subtitles stopped working in Kodi and i noticed that in the Emby player subtitle menu, the subtitle shows as "Und" instead of a language. My guess is that this represents "Undefined" 

This means that Emby does not recognized the subtitle langage.

 

Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?

We don't actually read the language from inside the file, we use a naming convention for languages. You can learn more about that here:

Reading the .idx language is a possibility for the future. Thanks.

Ah okay! Thanks for your reply.

 

Maybe its an idea to add an option which makes it possible to set undefined subtitles to a specific language.
