Re: Are soft-subtitle settings controlled by UMS or by the TV?
Ah, a little classic AKBingo! from 2011, when the OG Kami 7 were still around. If you're using .ass subs, and all the formatting and styling codes are displayed as text, it usually means that the TV is treating the streamed .ass subs as .srt subs. As such, the TV does not recognize .ass subs, but do...

Re: Subtitles in MKV with PS3
I also am a heavy subtitle user, although more with external subs and h264/mp4 files. On the PS3, UMS has to transcode the subtitles over, so you can't switch subtitles on the PS3 on the fly with the subtitles button. I am not a developer, but my understanding with the current UMS is that you cannot...

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
Thanks for looking into the problem and your explanation. I agree that it'd be nice if subbers identified the language in their subtitles, but unfortunately I get "Unk." internal SSA subs in anime all the time. For the external ones, It's easy enough for me to add the language to the name....

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
Ok, this is interesting. So I added .en to the subtitles in the folder that I was testing, the ones with the -BOM files. I exited the folder and re-entered. After a rescan, the subtitles are recognized with the {Ext Subs} info tag. I had played the file with subs via the Transcode folder earlier in ...

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
Thank you for the explanations. The advice on having the language name in the file name is very helpful. I didn't know that UMS would prioritize that over auto-detection. I do find the "newly added subs" issue interesting as UMS clearly recognized the new subs, having referenced them in th...

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
Thank you for your replay and explanations. One main reason I mentioned the UTF-8-BOM subs is that I think Aegisub is one of the most popular external subtitle programs, and it automatically produces UTF-8-BOM encoded subs. It's not a setting you can change so I think most subbers won't even notice....

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
For what it's worth, the "Subtitle Icon bug when thumbnails are off" that I've mentioned before is gone with this build. I haven't tried the Live Subtitles option as I usually download my own, but I haven't noticed any new bugs so far.

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
The "add a new subtitle into an opened folder" issue is still there. It rescans the folder but will not used the newly added subtitle as before. I didn't mention this last time, just restarting the server with the button doesn't help; I have to quit out and restart UMS for it to see the ne...

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
I set "Full Subtitle info", and was able to determine that UMS can detect the correct language on ANSI and UTF-8 encoded subs, but not UTF-8-BOM encoded subs. And the new icons in the transcode folder are very nice indeed. Just personal preference, perhaps because I'm used to them this way...

Re: [Transcoding folders] Limiting options
Thanks for the build. I am on Windows, so I'll do some testing. Also thanks for the info on the cache. I just pulled the UMS folder our of the ProgramData folder and did a bit of a clean install. Then if I want to go back it'll be easy as I understand 7.0.0 changed some settings from Hide to Show. I...
