SRT subtitles for TV shows not loaded

Hi!

As you can see from the screenshot, I added two new episodes with their subtitles (English and Chinese) to my TV Show library. However, none of my added subtitles are showed. I can’t see the Chinese one, at least.

And the most weird thing is that, when I added S03E01 files, my English and Chinese subtitles showed!!! But after adding next S03E02 files, they all became “English - SRT Forced” and “English - SRT”. My added “English - SRT External” and “中文 - SRT External” were all gone…

I’m so confused… What can I do now? Thanks!

My Plex media server is installed on QNAP TS-453A, server version 1.8.1.4139.

  1. after adding files of first episode S03E01

  2. after adding files of first episode S03E02

Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB
and
Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase

in both places, the line ‘Local Media Assets’ needs to be checked.

I don’t know whether QNAP is susceptible to the access permission problem like many other linux-based systems.
If your external subtitle files are still not seen by Plex after you made the changes under 1),
check the file access permissions of your SRT files.

Thanks.

Checked ‘Local Media Assets’, still not work… Permission of subtitles are same as episode files, episodes can be played.

It always shows my added subtitles when there is only one episode, but gone if I add more episodes…

Seems problem solved…

Because video file is upper case, subtile is lower case…

Narcos - S03E01.mkv
VS
Narcos - S03E01.en.mkv
Narcos - S03E01.zh.mkv

Yes, since QNAP is running Linux
and Linux is a ‘Unix-oid’ operating system.
Those do distinguish between upper and lower case file names (contrary to Windows).
For Linux NARCOS.txt is a different file than Narcos.txt - in fact, those two files can exist in the same folder simultaneously!

Cool, I thought you will use regex to match episode number :smiley:
