Subtitles for Extras content

[Cwobbles 0]

Hi I have some film extras which have separate subtitle files and they do not show when playing the extras content. Do they need to be in a separate folder or does the Extras folder not cater for them?

 

To explain I have the Extras folder with all the contant in at one level, it picks up the video files but nothing else. I have the sub files at the same level. English subs for Italian extras on Good Bad and the Ugly for example.

You should be able to use subtitle files using our supported subtitle naming conventions.

Thanks Luke, it seems the files are not in a recognised format so nothing to do with how Emby handles them.

What format are they?

Hi Luke, they have the extension .sub and arent recognised by VLC. If I rename to a srt extension there is no difference. I have attached a sample here, the one I renamed. There are .idx files too which may be related? Looks either corrupt or in an unusual format.

What do you mean by aren't recognized by Vlc? What does that have to do with Emby?

This is not a valid SRT file.  Not even close.

Only that they also aren't recognised by VLC which normally picks up most things as does Emby. The files certainly don't appear to be anything like a normal SRT file as Cayars says above too.

Ok, so then why not fix your subtitles?

Indeedy, now I know it isn't a valid file.
