It appears Emby does not like Closed Captions and although all my recorded movies have subtitles they don’t show so I have to extract them. I do have quite a large number of archived TS files I haven’t deleted yet so I assume can just pull the closed captions out and create subtitle files. If MCEBuddy can do this I just need to know how so I can queue up what I have archived and at least get the subs out of them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can’t you use filebot to search for subtitles for those movies?
I don’t want to deal with sync issues and I want the subtitles that are with my recordings, most have 4 different subtitles. Also if the subtitle is in the movie I recorded then even after editing it will be in sync. I edit the TS files directly and they are indexed upon editing. Plus I record a lot of movies from TCM and I like the intros by the hosts and that also throws off the sync of subtitles not recorded with the movie because it can make the movie 3-10 minutes longer with half or more before the movie.
I did some testing and yes I can run the files through MCEBuddy again using the MKV unprocessed profile and extract, convert, and reinsert the subtitles. The only problem I had was no matter what I did one file would not queue up.
The only problem now is most of the subtitles are undefined for language so I decided to just extract the subtitles and then use MKVToolNix to reinsert them into the MKV with the proper language tag on the subs as I move them to their final folder for Emby.
