emby not seeing subtile file in same folder as video

[asdffdsa1 1]

hello and thanks,

lets' say i have a folder named thevideo. and in that folder i have two files.

video.mp4

video.srt

emby does not seem to be able to use the .srt file.

using vlc on ios, if i click on subtitles, i get "download  subtitles from OpenSubtitles .org"

 

thanks much,

david

Hi,

Can you give us real life example?  Maybe a screen pic of the folder?

i see that for the video, there is a drop box labeled 'subtitles' and default is off.

if i click the dropbox and select the srt file, play the video, still no with vlc.

 

if i refresh the emby web interface, the dropbox is off, does not seem to remember i selected the srt

 

thanks,

Could you humor me and try something?

Change folder name to "Borat (2006)"

Change both the movie and subtitle first part to ""Borat (2006)" as well.

Open the srt file in notepad and make sure it has timing and text in it (ie looks semi valid).

What happens now after doing library scan?

if i play the video using the web player, then the subtitles work.

OK perfect, It was working for you all along then.

[asdffdsa1 1]

thanks much but no, if was not working all along, still not working

i remaned the files as you suggested and rescan the library.

the dropbox for subtitles was still set to off. if i manually select the srt, and then reply the video, still no subtitles.

and if i refresh the web page, the subtitle drop down is off.  i repeat, each time i refresh the webpage, the subtitle drop down is set to 'off'

in vlc, if i click for subtitles, i get "download subtitles from opentitles.org"

thanks

 

 

 

and here is a snippet from the .srt

does it matter the vlc is using the dlna function?

That's the way it should be.  Now if you select the subtitle and actually play the video do you get the subtitles?

VLC likely won't be smart enough to pull the srt via DLNA.

[asdffdsa1 1]

ok. thanks,

the nice thing about vlc on ios, is built-in support for plex.

any chance emby will do that?

then i would switch from plex to emby, instead of just testing emby.

It doesn't remember unless you start playing
