Subtitles filename - disable adding country code

[speechles 2055]

You can always download SRT into your movies outside of Emby. They have this ability. Why is it so integral Emby name them without such 3-letter languages attached? You can have any other program obtain your subtitles for your collection of material and it will name them whatever it wants. Emby then has to just "deal with it" as you so desire.

You are free to choose how to entertain yourself. Thank you for choosing Emby. But realize that in your choice there are certain advantages to premiere. There are access to all the applications without restriction. Otherwise certain applications require single one-time payments to insure that you are getting that advantage. Your funding helps features, bugs, and everything else you expect in the future. If everything were free there would not be an Emby. A certain part of Emby must be premiere or unlocked to insure we can all have Emby exist into the future.

It is not necessary for Emby to break existing functionality to choose languages for subtitles just to solve this issue. The simple answer is have any other media program curate that one detail for you. This allows you to continue using DLNA and continue to enjoy the benefits that come with using the free applications.

When you want more you can look into Premiere or the One-Time payments to unlock an application. But until then you are free to choose. We appreciate you stopping by. Please do not feel alienated or in some way lesser because you choose to be free. It is just that certain things are only obtainable by helping us. We hope you understand.

Nope, it's not working for LG OLED TV as you claim.

LG OLED TV WebOS 3.0

I've just checked, because I remembered this worked on my TV before I started using the Emby app for playback.

So I can confirm:

My old WebOS 2.0 LG TV can play the external srt subtitles with the country code in the filename. I tested with the TV's built-in smart share media player and Synology's Media Server as a DLNA server. The only problem is that if I put multiple subtitles, it always plays the first.

Like this:

tomb.raider.2018.720p.bluray.x264-drones.eng.srt
tomb.raider.2018.720p.bluray.x264-drones.hun.srt
tomb.raider.2018.720p.bluray.x264-drones.mkv

It plays the english subtitle automatically, and I cannot choose the other one.

Likely this would be device dependant which is the nature of DLNA.
