MKV subtitle name tag

[MatthiasM 6]

Hi all

 

I rip all my movies with all embedded subtitles in one .MKV file.

 

After that I find out which subtitle contains what kind of content - real subtitle, filmers comments, only forced etc. and give the subtitles a useful name.

 

The names are stored in the name tag of the MKV header.

 

After I upload the file to emby, the movie will be shown only with subtilte language and codec (german - PGSSUB) for each present subtitle in the subtitle pull down box.

 

It is hard to find the subtitle you want to look at if there are more that one - simlpy try out

 

The same is true if you try to switch on subtitle while watching the movie.

 

Is there a possibility emby looks into the MKV header and use the embedded name tag to organize the subtitle drop down box?

 

Is there a possibility to manualy edit the names of the subtitles inside emby or the used metadata?

 

Thanks for any help ladies and gentleman!

This is an option, which I use - though as I include the language in some situations, it can look a bit odd as Emby still adds the language at the start.

 

Here is where you set it (in the global library options):

 

 

And this is what it looks like for me:

 

 

Hope that helps.  Note, the one setting affects the names of audio tracks as well.
