Subtitle Question

[chipper 1]

I've been tinkering with creating .SRT files for some foreign films (I think i got the hang of it).

 

I noticed that all of my movies in MB3 have a subtitle listed as und.  Does anyone know what that is?

 

Here's a copy of what it shows from the webpage of a movie.  I don't see MOV_TEXT listed in the folder directory.

 

Thanks for any guidance.

 

Subtitle:und • MOV_TEXT

Name you subs 

 

moviename.en.srt and you will get lang defined

 

There may be an error in the way you are creating them to get MOV_TEXT as the type

 

Note the punctuation in the time stamps it is important

What should I do with this,
Your Excellency?


2
00:02:00,914 --> 00:02:02,165
Yes.

00:02:02,248 --> 00:02:04,918
I picked it out for Daria
Alexandrovna and the children.

The und MOV_TEXT shows on all movies (even those without subtitles).  Am I doing something wrong?

 

For movies with subtitles, I see:

 

Subtitle:und • MOV_TEXT

Subtitle:eng • SRT • External

The mov_text may be part of your mp4 or mkv file

Thanks, that might be.  I used Handbrake to rip them from MKV to H264, but never selected any subtitles.

 

Thanks.

i recently came up with the same issue within media browser .. in my case, as far as i can tell the "und Mov_Text" subtitle is actually the chapter list that handbrake creates ... is there a way for media browser to simply ignore this specific list ?

[MndWrp 101]

could it be a preference somewhere logical .. something like " ignore all undetermined tracks" ?

...this is turning into a feature request

Did anyone ever come up with a fix for this?  Just curious.  I have SRTs for all my mp4s... But, like the above user, I ended up with und Mov_Text as an option, and my SRT as an option.  When I click the SRT in Media Player, nothing happens. It just spins and won't move off und Mov_Text.  I can preview the SRTs from Open Subtitles, or put my own in the library folder, but I can never get them to show up or stay as a choice.

Do you have chapters in your mp4?  If there are chapters in the mp4 they get listed as subtitles.

Thanks, I didn't know mov_text would get wrongly classified as subtitles. that will be fixed for the next release.

Nice, hopefully that fixes the problem next release.  And yes, I do preserve chapters. Thanks guys.
