Hi, are you an open subtitles VIP member?

[libs 0]

hello there i have account on open subtitles, but this issue apends in all puglins off subtitles on emby

[libs 0]

hello there any help ?

[Luke 42077]

@@cayars can take this over and help get you squared away. Thanks.

[Carlo 4560]

Hello libs.

 

Your getting a rate limit exceeded error from the provider it appear.  Luke had asked a question.

 

Are you an Open Subtitles VIP member?

 

If not it's common to see the error as you maxed out what you can get for free in some time frame.  Emby will pick back up and continue during it's next library refresh and will keep doing this until it gets them all.

 

Have you tried to download an individual subtitle manually through the Emby interface for a particular movie?

Here's a knowledge base article on how to download subtitles manually.

[libs 0]

hello there i follow the article but i cant find the edit subtitles on the menu

 

 

 

thanks for the support

[Carlo 4560]

Check the user privs under the profile tab.

Scroll down and make sure the user has this option checked/enabled: "Allow subtitle downloading"

[libs 0]

hello again

 

and thanks for you support.

 

i made the changes that you tell and in manual mode the emby donwload the file .srt and name the file with the name of the movie.

 

but something wrong becuse like you can se below the configuration tell in to store the srt file on the same place that the movie is and he dont do this

 

 

 

and the system stores

libs

[Carlo 4560]

Hmm, that shouldn't happen.

Could you try something?  Restart your server and try this again with another file downloading the subtitle.

[libs 0]

no, but i will try

[libs 0]

sorry but is the same,

 

but i have some interesting, i search in to other tv show and movies and i see that i have the srt download to /var/lib/emby/metadata/library/ and not for the same location that the movie is

 

regards

libs

[Carlo 4560]

I could be that some were download previously.

 

I'm a bit concerned why the current SRT are being downloaded to your movie folders.  Does Emby have read/write access to these libraries?

[libs 0]

yes,

 

i mount on the emby server 3 folder /media /NAS_xxxx (music) another /media/NAS_xxxx(movies) and /media/NAS_xxxxx(tvshow), with this the Emby Server can read the media on this folder and can write.

 

but if you wont we can check, what you sugest

 

regards

libs

[Carlo 4560]

Do NFO files or graphics get written to the media directories?  If so we know Emby can write to it fine.

[libs 0]

hi

 

i think is workin because anything that i write on the metadata and save i receved positive information like you can se below

 

[Luke 42077]

Can you check the contents of the folder? thanks.

[libs 0]

dont have nothing, the content of the folder dont change

[Luke 42077]

Then that means Emby Server does not have write access to the folder. Please attach the emby server log from when you tried to do this and we can help verify that. Thanks.

[libs 0]

hello luke

Error SubtitleManager: Error downloading subtitles from NapiSub

Error SubtitleManager: Error downloading subtitles from Addic7ed

etc

 

You're not downloading any subtitles. I also noticed you're using the hash method which requires an exact match on the file.  This is fine depending on how you secure your files.  The problem here is Emby isn't able to download the subtitles.  If it can't download them it can't write them!

[Carlo 4560]

You may want to to join OpenSubtitles VIP to get 1000 downloads per 24 hour period.

OR for testing right now, turn OpenSubtitles off for 24 hours so Emby makes no use of it.

Then in 25 hours we can turn it back on and try a manual download or two to see that Emby Server is writing them to the correct spot with your media.

 

ALSO please make sure you have configured OpenSubtitles properly with your credientials as described in this Knowledge Base Article: https://emby.media/support/articles/Open-Subtitles.html
