on setting, account, audio & sub, i select it on the language and it does not load the sub for every video.
I have to manually select search and then select the first file.
The other method on the left side does not show language to select it on sub. Which i see that for paid version which i cant do that in another account.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
More info needed.
A screenshot of your Audio & Subtitle Settings
Specifically, scroll down to Auto-Select Subtitle Mode
All the above info/settings explicitly rely on the files audio/subtitle tracks being set properly.
Will the issue be fixed or am I doing something wrong??
Since I dont understand it. The instructions i read before many times which partly made scene but as you see in the picture I set it all.
I also downloaded subtitle online and tried to upload it and it said error as well.
Try changing forced subtitle searches to prefer non-forced subtitles.
I tried that and as the picture shows it is still by default on none. Am I doing something else wrong?
Is it a glitch in the program?
Or am i doing something wrong?
Itâs possible there simply are no subs for the movie/show, but if itâs not named right you wonât find any subs.
Whatâs the item weâre talking about?
Easy enough to go to opensubtitles and see whatâs there.
what do you mean opensubtitles?
when i press search it has many subs. I click on the first one.
it is on auto subs and as it shows it is enabled by default to it and its on none.
They come from:
(unless you have another sub-finder-service installed)
If there are subs - and theyâre not displaying - thatâs different.
Do you mean it wont go âautomaticâ if it comes from that site to choose the top choice form the list?
Any suggestion? Since I emailed plex and they do not reply and so I came on the forum to ask and still I cant get it to work automatically.
What would you suggest?
Thanks
so again is it on my end or is plex not capable?
Or do i have to submit a bug report and if so where?
You are getting multiple features mixed up.
1 - The settings for automatically picking the subtitle, is to pick from subtitles you have already added to the movie. This does not automatically find subtitles for you.
This is an example. You see I have 2 different audio tracks, Japanese and English. My preferred language is English, so PMS has chosen the English track for me. Without that setting, PMS will pick the first audio track which would have been the Japanese one. Now, since PMS has chosen an English audio track, it will not pick a subtitle since English is my preferred audio language.
In this example, this only has a Japanese audio track. Since this is not English, it will pick a subtitle track for me. I have an English subtitle, so it has chosen this automatically for me.
This is how the automatic selection works.
2 - There is a feature to automatically find subtitles and add it to your library. This is in your PMS settings and works when your movies are added to your library. I also have a 3rd party plugin called sub-zero which also looks for subtitles from other sources besides Opensubtitle. I fI enable either of these, they will look for subtitles.
This does not always find subtitles though. Just like matching your file to the movie, there are calculations if the subtitle might fit your file and only grabs them if there is a high score.
I prefer to find the subtitles and add them manually myself.
3 - From this image, it shows that subtitles have not already been added so there is nothing to automatically pick.
The search option will allow you to manually search and find a subtitle. This is the same search used for #2 above, but allows you to pick instead of picking automatically. This selection is only temporary. It does not become a permanent part of your movie like it would in #2. The other option âuploadâ, is to add a subtitle file from the device you are on to your PMS library.
2 I dont have the screen on the non pay version.
I assume the pay version does not transfer to the non pay.
3 I usually select the first one in the search which usualy works. Which is what I want by default.So i guess no automatic option for it to select the first one it automatically searches.
to upload a subtitle for each movie individually is still a manual job to do everything .
2 - That is not a Plex Pass feature so you should see it. If not, then somehow the agent got removed for you. You might need to reinstall PMS. Can you provide a screenshot of that page?
Here is more info on how to set this up. https://support.plex.tv/articles/200471113-configuring-subtitle-support/
3 - There is no way to make that automatic. That feature is specifically for manually picking a subtitle. 2 above is the way to make it automatic.
That only works if you have the subtitles already.
Search doesnât automatically search for and download subtitles, then turn 'em on.
Search is there as a last Desperate Attempt to get subtitles⊠the subs that should have come with the media in the first place.
and yes, even:
When/If I need subtitles that âunbelievablyâ didnât come with the media I go to one (or ALL) of those places looking for some. I have pretty good luck with a fairly decent success rate. YMMV.
If that fails - I cuss - 'cause Search probably isnât going to produce any usable sub titles, but I try, by pressing that button manually. Then the disappointment sets inâŠlol
When I have the subs - Plex follows the instructions I have given it - and since it knows I canât speak a word of German - it turns on the subs for me:
got it so no way to set it to automatic a language unless the video comes with it. Would have been good if plex explained it as you did.
and no way of downloading a list of subs in bulk to put it in the plex to see the subs.
and if the video has no subs at all anywhere then better off uploading it to youtube and let it translate it it to any language automatically I am guessing but never tried that.
