Forced Subtitles?

[geaves]

I know there have been a few questions regarding this but I just can't get it to display, ripped a movie to mkv and embedded the forced subtitle. I have tried the options 'disable subtitle' and with subtitles enabled, but still no joy.
I know they are embedded because when I play the movie through VLC the subtitle appears, but I just can't get it to appear using UMS, if anyone has got this to work I would appreciate any pointers.

Many thanks, Geoff.

Hi geaves, it just depends on your subtitle language preferences So go to the Transcoding Settings tab, then the Subtitles settings sub-tab and look at the audio/subtitles priority box. If you have questions about how to use that feature feel free to ask

Sorted just changing it to eng only the forced subtitles have displayed, great thx.

The UMS.conf should look like this:

mencoder_disablesubs = false
forced_sub_lang = eng,
mencoder_audiosublangs = eng,off;
mencoder_sublangs = eng,

What you just changed to eng only? Forced subs? If yes, then it is ok because forced subs support one lang code only. If you changed anything else, please describe it more deeply so we can understand what was the problem and that it is not bug in UMS.
Thx

The jpg shows the original settings......the changes worked with 1 of my films I had converted but not the other.....went back to handbrake and currently converting again using the correct subtitle this time Will test this later when it's completed. Don't think this is a bug, just getting the settings right and the conversation.

Your change should not have this behavior. Post info from MediaInfo.

[geaves]

Changed settings from UMC.conf

mencoder_disablesubs = false
forced_sub_lang = eng,
mencoder_audiosublangs = eng,
mencoder_sublangs = eng,

This is ensuring that the 'Forced SubTitles' is the subtitles track selected within handbrake. This works successfully and displays non English audio as an English subtitle.

I don't understand you. AudioSub settings can't be "eng,". It is incorrect syntax.
Without Debug.log and Mediainfo report of your file, the discussion is misleading.

Sorry I'm just posting what 'appears' to be working, have attached debug.log and mediainfo (film 1.txt) as requested.

I don't know exactly what you want to achieve, if visible subs or no subs but anyway we can't talk here about "forced subs" as we use it in UMS GUI

Code: Select all

Text
ID                                       : 3
Format                                   : VobSub
Codec ID                                 : S_VOBSUB
Codec ID/Info                            : The same subtitle format used on DVDs
Language                                 : English
Default                                  : Yes
Forced                                   : No

Your subs are not forced so should not be played automatically if "eng,off" is set. If you want subs in this file to be played "eng,eng" in AUDIO/SUBS preference will work. What you want to achieve?
Your log shows MKV file was played with subs but for more info we need debug.log to be made in TRACE mode/level.
Thx
