Hi, thanks for this plugin, it helps me deal with the problem of embedded subtitles.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to add configuration options in the plugin details for selecting one or more specific languages and make it so that only subtitles of those languages are extracted. Perhaps even offer the option to filter out HI/SDH subs?

It would help with some 4K videos that are over 20GB and have over 30 subtitles. The extraction from these files can take over an hour depending on the hardware where the extraction is running.

Hi,

I would like to use this extension, but I don't have any clue on how it is supposed to behave within Jellyfin.
How to automatically extract subtitles when a new movie/serie is added ?
Does it need to be set up as a reccurent task ?

Regards,

Question - does it need write access to media folder? Or is readonly enough, are extracted subtitles stored elsewhere or do they have to be stored alongside media files?

It would be nice to be possible the plugin to extract not only the subtitles, but the font attachments too. This way jellyfin will not need to do this when video is played and it will be possible to offload all the work when server is less loaded. This will help alot to machines with slower storage.

Extraction of the subs and font attachments can be batched all in 1 ffmpeg request to make things faster.

Other addition to the plugin can be a scheduled task to cleanup subtitles and font attachments that are left behind when videos/shows are deleted.

Hello! I ran into the slow subtitle loading issue today, and realized after half an hour of research that this was already fixed with this plugin. I was wondering if the plugin could be included by default in new Jellyfin installations as part of a proposal, as it is quite the bad experience for users if they fire up their content and the subtitles exhibit buggy behavior (slow loading, not loading at all, "Fetching additional data" spinning infinitely at the bottom right).

Or maybe this plugin can be recommended as part of the admin installation process ("you may want to install the subtitle extraction plugin to optimize your viewing experience"). Anything other than what I had to go through would be great for those just installing Jellyfin! Please let me know if this is a dumb idea and feel free to close the issue if so. :)

EDIT: reading over this I probably should clarify that I'm proposing for the plugin to be installed alongside Jellyfin for new installations. I'm already aware this is an official Jellyfin plugin included in the default repositories.

Hi,

after upgrading subtitleextract plugin to v3 and jellyfin server to v10.9.0 I see many many log lines every time subtitleextract task is fired, exactly one for each media file.

I suspect the cause is the extraction method change, as now all subtitles tracks in one file are extracted in one command.

But there is a way to avoid such log storm (for example checking before if there is the need to extract before do it)?

ps. I'm not sure if the issue should be opened in subtitleextract plugin repo or jellyfin server repo.

I'm generally happy with this plugin, but I don't need to have it ran for my entire library, most movies and normal tv shows come with SRT subtitles, and they tend to just work immediately. My main issue is naturally ASS/SSA subtitles, as they take a lot longer to load.

I made a bash script for now that does this for me sort of(extracts the ASS/SSA subtitles next to the container as an external subtitle). Being able to select a specific or multuple specific libraries in this plugin would be hugely appreciated.
I've built from source and the config option to extract on library scan is huge!

I would try to figure this out myself, but I have no idea where or how I would begin implementing it.

Reading just one subtitle at a time is inefficient, and when a movie has more than one subtitle, it can take up to an hour.

Noticed in the source there is a config page with a relatively handy setting to extract subs on library scan instead of a scheduled job, but trying to access the config page gives an alert with message: "This plugin has no settings to set up."

This plugin only support extraction of SRT and SSA/ASS sub types.
Why are other subs (vtt, idx, pgs, ...) excluded? Is there no benefit for Jellyfin to have these subtitles extracted?

Would it be possible to extract only for certain languages?

Thanks!

Hi,

after upgrading subtitleextract plugin to v3 and jellyfin server to v10.9.0 I see many "Unsupported format" during subtitle extraction.

For now I see two "Unsupported format" error types:

The case one is very strange, as srt subtitle format should be supported (maybe there was a string comparison check issue?).

In case two mov_text subtitle format should be converted in srt as done in subtitleextract plugin v2 for every subtitle form that is not srt, ass, or ssa.

ps. I'm not sure if the issue should be opened in subtitleextract plugin repo or jellyfin server repo.

Is it possible to trigger a subtitle extract through a webhook?
I'd like to improve my sonarr/radarr setup by also extracting the subtitles when finishing the download of new content as it currently does with reloading jellyfin.

I do this with a webhook, so I'd like to be able to trigger subtitle extract in the same way.

As someone who is new to JF, it doesn't really help to read that a "Subtitle Extract" plugin "Extracts Subtitles" or to be more specific "Extracts embedded subtitles." :).

It would help if you explained why I'd want this, how it does it, etc.

Does "extract" mean, the subtitles are moved out of the video container or just "copied" for example.

Hello, thanks for the plugin, was really nice to see this in the plugin list!

If I'm not mistaken it seems subtitles are being stored in "Jellyfin\Server\data\subtitles", is it possible to store the subs alongside the media files with the same name?

Thanks!
