I Want You Movie English Subtitles
Baldovino Caya
I tried unchecking 'enable sub-pictures' in the preferences menu, but this removed the subtitle user interface entirely, making it difficult to get subtitles on the occasions I really do want them (foreign films).
In the simple settings menu, go to "Subtitles/OSD" and under "Preferred Subtitle Language," enter none. Subtitles will no longer be displayed unless you ask for them! This works in VLC 2.2.1 and 2.2.4 (windows 7 and 10 respectively) for sure, and probably others too, but I have not tested it beyond those two.
Just wanted to say that you can do this using the "simple" options as well: it's tools / preferences / and then "subtitles/OSD" which is the 4th big button on the left of the preferences menu, right above "input/codecs."
Also, after doing this, then switching to "show settings: all" in the lower left, the "subtitles track ID" that Colonel Panic suggests, is set to -1, not 0, which could be why some folks are having trouble with it. You can manually set this to -1, to achieve the same result. Cheerio!
Hi there again ^-^ After few problems i finally made my first DVD xDD Thank you for your work and patient to do such a great and easy application ^-^ Ok, but i have a question ;) Now it's gonna be clearly design question :) Is there possible to make a 2 buttons : Yes and No. I just want to make button like in original DVD's : Do you want subtitles? -> No or YES" and if i choose No it will play clear video without sub's. :)
I try to write it more clearly xP I want to make button which will be deciding if movie will be playing with or without subtitles, or there wille be choose beetween two or three language versions :P I know i'm really naughty xDD But i like to have a beautiful DVD's xD
OMG You shocked me xDD Ok, well, i'm a newbie so i completely don't know "where to clikc" xD I have to set up my Subtitles /None in a menu, yep . . . :) Where can i did it xP? In properties of menu? Or in a button action?
Ok with your help i know how to set on or off subtitles for each movie, but can i make button that will turn off or on subtitles in all movie? You know, something like: Do you want to have subititles? Yes No
To have a subtitles On/Off option that operates independently to the selection of which subtitles is selected you will need to use a separate g# variable (e.g. g3) and which is set to 0 or 1 in the "Do you want to have subtitles?" button.
Hello. I am new therefore I want to ask a question. Today I confirm my Identity from Udmey and I send my first course for review. In the subtitle section, there are subtitles automatically created by the system and they are not correct actually. Therefore I am changing these subtitles with the correct ones but it takes too much time. Anyone, can you please tell me how to turn off these subtitles.
So the question is, am I setting something up incorrectly, are forced subtitles just not compatible with MKV in some way, or can I provide any more information to help solve the problem going forward?
The problem is not Infuse but the Mkv that was not properly done.
Fixing it is not too difficult or long using mkvtoolnix: files can be processed in batches and the forced subtitle track is usually the smaller in size
While feedback is always good, so EHG knows what people want to see.
This is a still a EA/Beta game and accessability features are things that are just not priority for most devs due to making a fundamentally good game is way more important during the early stages of development.
While many aspects of the game can change frequently as the designers iterate on their ideas, this is notably not true of voice acting - where any unrecorded lines the devs wish to add require paying the voice actor again & getting them into a recording studio again.
My movies are direct MKV rips from my discs, and all include the English subtitle track. For most of my films I do not want subtitles shown as they are in English, but on films where there are sections of foreign language conversation (such as in Sicario 2) where I want those to be subtitled so that I can understand what is being said. I can manually turn the subtitles on and off showing that they are correctly encoded in the rip, but this subtitles everything including English language conversation and audio descriptions of music.
Playing the discs directly works like this. I have tried a number of settings, including only forced subtitles (which is what I assumed it would be) and can only seem to get either no subtitles, or subtitles all of the time (including audio descriptions). What settings do I need to change?
I have ripped the UHD BD using MakeMKV and just used the standard options. This seems to have included the main title and two sets of English subtitle tracks, both of which look like they also include forced subtitles:
Without having to go back and re-rip several films to only included forced subtitles, how do I determine which of these three subtitle tracks are the forced ones (or is it just a trial and error process)? I presume then I can just flag them as such, and Kodi will do the rest.
Sorted by figuring out which of the saved subtitle tracks was the correct one and setting its flag to forced in MKVToolNix. OSMC now correctly picks this up and plays it without playing all of the other subtitles.
I am big in to subtitles due to my own personal hearing loss. So I have some experience getting subtitles going in a reasonably automatic way. Maybe some of this will help give you ideas concerning subtitles. Of course my use of subtitles is because of hearing difficulty so I do not need subtitles to translate to/and from other languages. And I am a Windows person. I know there are a lot of great alternatives. But Windows is what I know, so it is all I can knowledgably talk about here.
In my experience I have found Channels to be excellent with CC/Subtitles for Live TV and for recording. If subtitles are available, Channels will catch them and display if you want them displayed on live TV. If the DVR recordings have any available subtitles that were part of the original stream they are embedded in the recording. When you watch the recording on Channels (or any other viewer) you will have the choice to see those subtitles if you want.
As for library content, that is a little trickier. I use Plex for my media library and main viewing and ChannelsDVR for Live TV and DVR. Channels is awesome for Live TV and DVR. Nothing comes close to how incredible Channels is for Live and DVR. But nothing compares to Plex in media management (and of course mind boggling bloat.) And on Plex subtitling issues are very low on the support priority list.
Plex does have the option to download subtitles from the internet (if none are embedded in the media or as an external file) and it works pretty nicely. But it has the drawback of not saving the subtitles as a side car (even though the subtitles are just downloaded OpenSubtitles .srt files). Therefore, if you watch the media file in another viewer like Channels or VLC, the Plex downloaded subtitles will not be available.
For my media library (Not live TV or DVR): Everything I add goes through a simple Windows .bat file. If the newly added media does not have an associated .srt file then ccextractor is run on the media to see if there are any embedded subtitles. If there are embedded subtitles they will be saved as .srt files along side the media. If no embedded subtitles are found then the Windows .bat file runs a quick Filebot scan of the media to see if OpenSubtitles has a match. If there is a match online it is saved as an .srt file alongside the media.
Of course then there may be issues of syncing subtitles if the OpenSubtitles file is off. If I notice some media not synchronized properly, I use a program called SubSync which will try to match the timing of the .srt file to voice recognition audio dictation of the media file. It gets things surprising close enough for me.
FileBot (Mainly a renamer but can also be used to find subtitles) - Filebot
CCextractor (Well maintained open source) - CCextractor
SubSync (Awesome hidden gem to synchronize) - SubSync Subtitle Speech Synchronizer
OpenSubtitles (The go to online location for subtitles) - OpenSubtitles
@Absenm could you share your bat file? I also use filebot and find it to be awesome but I didn't know you could use it to get subtitles. Your process sounds awesome and I would like to give it a try if you are willing to share
Ill try to post something tomorrow with the basics of my .bat file(s). I'm not a coder. I just Frankenstein snippets of code together and keep trying them till they work they way I want. So when it comes to proper design it will be awful and inefficient to say the least. I am also limited by what I can do with a windows .bat file. But maybe you can get the general drift of what I'm doing and improve upon the concept.
REM I NAMED THIS .BAT FILE EXTRACT2.BAT
REM The batch file is provided a full file path (including ext) in the form of variable %media_file_path% from an intital .bat file called EXTRACT.BAT which searches an entire directory (and sub directories) for .MPG, .MKV and .MP4 files. But you can use whatever media types you like... but CCExtractor will probably just abort on things like .AVI then proceed to Filebot.
REM IF NO COMMON ENGLISH .SRT SUBTITLES ALREADY EXSISTS THEN TRY CCEXTRACT OTHERWISE EXIT
if exist "%filenameWithoutExtension%".srt goto :EOF
if exist "%filenameWithoutExtension%".en.srt goto :EOF
if exist "%filenameWithoutExtension%".eng.srt goto :EOF
if exist "%filenameWithoutExtension%"_eng.srt goto :EOF
Remember this is just an idea of how I personally do it. Terrible code I know. But it gets the job done for me. The actual files I use are even more messy than this with a bunch of logging code to help me figure out what I am doing wrong. But hopefully maybe this will point far more talented people out there in the right direction.
