I used Subler to bundle an MKV and an SRT file into an MP4 package. The SRT file has start --> finish timestamps as expected.
When I play the movie, it displays all the subs correctly, however when the last sub is finished, it stays on the screen until the end of the movie. This happens in the browser and the Plex App on Android.
Is there a “end” character that should be at the end of the SRT file to correctly take the last sub off the screen when it is supposed to?
SRT is not officially supported in an MP4 file. These should be external if you are using MP4.
Subler converts the SRT to tx3g format, a.k.a. TTXT, which is apparently supported.
Ok that should work. What client are you playing back on? Was it direct playing?
This happens in the browser and the Plex App on Android.
If you mean by direct playing as streaming, yes. This was not a synced file to my tablet or anything.
No direct playing is when the file is sent form the server to the client as-is. If it’s not, then PMS has broken up the file into smaller chunks. It’s possible something happened during this process. You can tell by looking at the deshboard in Plex Web while something is playing.
OK, then no, it is not doing any kind of transcoding that I’m aware of, or breaking it up. I was looking at the dashboard the first couple times I was tinkering after discovering the issue.
