Samsung SmartTV (UE55KS7502)

Emby Theater 1.0.38

 

kinda hard to belive how it can work for you this way, since i tried like 50+ movies with subs placen in the same folder as the strm, and with reencoding disabled and no subs will play on any app...

here are the proofs attached from web app and emby theater, cant make one pics on the samsung tv now, as im not home.

i will also send u an archive with strm's + srt files in pm, so you can check them all

@@Luke yeah, guess so

[Luke 42077]

Ok, we've just had release 1.0.40 approved. Samsung will hopefully launch that by the end of the week. Please try that. Thanks.

But what about webapp and emby thetre @@Luke ?

Will all the apps work now without that reencode thing enabled?

[Luke 42077]

Alphabetically i tested the first two but didn't get anywhere because it looks like the urls are bad.

@@Luke please try now, my server had some power outage, now all the STRM's i sent u are working, only need your magic to fix the subs

@@Luke got a chance to try?

[Luke 42077]

The first one is working just fine for me in the browser with all transcoding features enabled. If you disable transcoding then it won't work because the video is VC1 and web browsers don't support that.

 

Please note, this whole time you've been waiting for me to test this and give you answer, while the information has already been available to you on our wiki:

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Web%20Client

 

You can find the supported media formats for each app. If your media does not fall into that category, then transcoding will be needed. Thanks.

@@Luke we are not on the same page it seems, i am not talking about the builtin subs or the codec, i just said "external" srt subtitles will not work for any movie if transcoding is disabled....

The movie is vc1 video, you can't play that in the web browser with transcoding disabled. You can't even get to the point of enabling subtitles.

This is happening in emby theater and samsung emby app aswell, my players are capable of direct playing the files, only problem is it cant display the external srt subs unless i let it transcode, that 4th tick

[jinxy88 0]

As for webapp i will give you some now strm files with aac and h264, so you can see its no difference

[Luke 42077]

Here's Emby Theater direct playing. You can see the subs underneath the osd.

And u have that 4th tick disabled in emby server?

[Luke 42077]

Yes.

I will try again now, but im doing these tests for 1 month and never worked...

Ok so on samsung tv app 1.0.38 subs wont play and neither on emby theater for me, with transcoding disabled...cant understand how its working for you @@Luke

Ill wait for samsung to push the 1.0.40 update and check then...

The tv is what im the most interested in, so hopefully with the update subs will work

[Luke 42077]

Thanks for the feedback.

@@Luke tested with 1.1.40 and unfortunately there is no change for samsung tv, external subs wont work with the 4th tick enabled or disabled.

[Luke 42077]

Please try it again with the next server release, thanks.
