hey,

 

Is this a bug or its normal ?

 

When you are on deck and choose a tv episode and you press play automatic the subtitles are displayed.

 

When you go to all tv shows , choose a tv show, choose a season , choose an episode and you are in the screen with the synopsis and press play the subtitles are displayed automatic.

 

But when you go to all tv shows, choose a tv show, choose a season and press play on an episode then the subtitles dont display automatic.

 

Thanks

More info needed... Media types, subtitle format, stuff like that. Plus a log to understand what's going on within PlexConnect.

Hey baa,

All media are mp4 with external srt subtitiles.

I am attaching the logs.

Here is the test :

I choose from on deck the house of card episode 3x08. When i press play automatic the subtitles are shown.

Ok, here is the difference:

- from OnDeck you are replaying exactly that selected episode - same when starting from PrePlay-Screen. This will recall your previous subtitle setting and act accordingly, i.e. display the subs.

- from the episode list pressing PLAY you are actually going to play ALL episodes starting with the selected one. For that, I guess, nobody cared about the subtitles... :-D

The trouble is, that you actually would need to enter each PrePlay-Screen beforehand, selecting your subtitle wish for every episode, then start the replay. No, honestly, that's just a lame excuse... but then I have no idea how to setup the player in a more suitable way.

Same issue should actually happen when watching your episode through a playlist...

i had the same problem. i added the ":::key" in the play line.. downside is that i lose the continuous play option but i rather have the subtitles instead :)

what i did was i moved the continuous play to the pre play screen.. so when i chose an episode from the coverflow in the bottom and press play then i get continuous playing all episodes instead

this is the line for episode_list to get the subs to work there

onPlay="atv.loadURL('{{URL(key:::PlexConnect=Play_Video&PlexConnectRatingKey={{VAL(ratingKey)}}&PlexConnectPlayType=Continuous)}}')"
