Per-Library Default Languagle & Subtitle Settings

[Mkilbride 86]

So basically this. I have TV Shows, Movies, and Anime libraries. For anime; I'd prefer to set the default to Japanese with Subtitles.  For movies, English and no subs unless forced. For TV Shows, the same.  However, Emby only allows one overall setting this for this, for all libraries, instead of just one.

 

I think it'd be a pretty nice little feature.

Hi, yes this has come up before. It's possible for the future. Thanks for the feedback.

Am I missing something as there are already per library setting for "Preferred metadata download language", "Preferred image download language" and subtitles?

 

So we have Global which uses your Emby language, per library, and per item.

I think he's referring to the user audio and subtitle preferences.

+1 for this request.  My wife and I have different preferences for subtitles.  We are currently using multiple user profiles as a workaround, but a per library option would be even better.

Hi.  That isn't really a work-around.  That is exactly as designed - we have the ability for different users to have different preferences.

To clarify, different users for each library is the workaround.    E.g. Wife1 = Library1 (subtitles on), Wife2 = Library2 (subtitles off), etc

 

OP's request would allow us to stop swapping profiles for the same user.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Hello, How this feature going ? 

Is it implemented ? 

Thanks

[Mkilbride 86]

It isn't, but man I wish it was.

Bump. I'd like this feature, as I am watching TV shows differently from movies.

[TheIronPirate 1]

Bumping this for visibility.

My anime is subbed and sometimes I have dubbed dual audio and prefer original with subs.Subsxworks fine but I have to switch audio every episode, would love this feature. 

[Mkilbride 86]

Yeah I sure would fall in love with this feature. Same with per show. i.e, "Select Audio track for Show: Japanese" "Select Subtitle for Show: English(Dialogue)"

I'll give this a up vote. I would never use it cause I don't have a need for it, but PLENTY of people do have a need for it.

I'll cast my vote as well.  Per library would be very beneficial instead of having to switch audio tracks every episode.

casted my  vote as well

Also the ability to download an extra language for subtitles per show (similar to the way it works on a per episode basis) would be great.

+1 on this. please

[Zapero 1]

+1 here too

[amateurgod 33]

+1 for this and for being able to set audio/subs per show rather than just per episode 

[heciruam 30]

I'd prefer it I if there was the option of setting default audio language depending on the origin of country rather than it being library specific.

[DemonI 5]

+1 for this from me as well.  Just turning subs on for each One Piece episode alone is an insane task without a library-wide setting.
