Transcoding issue on a specific media

[shocker 135]

Hello,

  I'm identified an issue with the transcoder on Roku (public and beta client as well) and I'm getting this error message: An unexpected problem (but not server timeout or HTTP error) has been detected.

 

  If I'm disabling the transcoding then everything is ok.

 

Logs attached.

It looks to be an issue with subtitles according to the log. Not that surprising.

Indeed in DirectPlay the subtitle is not working on Roku as well.

 

I've tried with Emby web and everything is fine, the subtitle is working ok (see attached).

 

Tested with the Plex app on Roku and:

Transcoding: OK

DirectPlay: OK

 

I'm guessing that there is nothing wrong with subtile or I'm missing something?

We may have to add something to our ffmpeg build. thanks.

@@Luke ping me if you need the subtitle file or the media in order to troubleshoot.

Also it will be great if this will not require transcoding as it can be played as DirectPlay, the transcoder is triggered only due to subtitle

 

Thanks guys!

@@shocker Please try the 3.3.0.2 beta when available and let me know if the issue remains, thanks.

Tested with the latest Roku Beta app and now the movie is starting with subtitle but the diacritics are not supported.

Can you attach the ffmpeg log? thanks.

Would you mind replacing the font file here:

/var/lib/emby/fonts

With the attached font. See if that changes anything. Thanks.

Indeed this new font is fixing the problem.

Please find attached the new transcode log file.

Excellent, thanks.

[shocker 135]

Just to confirm, this new font will be added in the next beta release, right? If not to create my font replacing script after every update

[Luke 42077]

Yes.

[shocker 135]

Awesome! Thanks Luke.

Any plans to support this type of subtitle with DirectPlay? I think this is the only missing thing on Roku as all other devices can already handle this

[Luke 42077]

We already do, but Roku does not support non-latin characters and therefore your language is excluded. You would have to first take that feature request to Roku.

 

It might be worth re-evaluating to see if anything has changed. you could try forcing the direct play with user transcoding permissions as a test.

[shocker 135]

Tested again and the subtitle is not loaded without transcoding.

If I'm opening the same video with the same subtitle via the plex roku app is working ok with directplay and latin characters, check my post #4

[Luke 42077]

it might require work in the app. @@ebr we might not need that language list anymore that we're using as a filter. Either that or perhaps just add his.

[ebr 16169]

Which language are we dealing with here?

[shocker 135]

Romanian (rum)

[ebr 16169]

Okay, can you get me a sample subtitle that doesn't currently work to test with?

[shocker 135]

I've attached the one from the above screenshots/logs.

better to zip it up so that the forum software doesn't mess with it.
