i’m new to raspberry and osmc so sry for the newbie question.
I’m trying to play a mkv file with embedded subtitles. Problem is, that the subtiles were not displayed although osmc is recognizing them (in subtitle menu “local subtitle available” and also in the audio menu the right subtitle).
So … do you have any idea what the problem could be? I really dont get it. Tried it with some mp4 files and it worked perfect.
Strange, I play MK4’s all the time and never have had a issue with a subtitles not displaying. I do use the plugins for Subscene and opensutitles.org to download the subtitles.
Subtitles you download are mainly .srt. Subtitles embedded in .mkv can be almost any format and it is the SSA/ASS format that the current alpha dont have builtin support for.
Hello… I’m also new to this… When I try to make that command (sudo apt-get install libass5) in my terminal to Openelec I get the following reply.
There is no working ‘sudo’.
On debian/ubuntu/all general purpose linux distributions ‘sudo’
allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser
or another user, as specified by the security policy
With OpenELEC you have root access by default, so you dont need ‘sudo’
VERY informate but also very confusing… I’m guessing you guys control your media station in some other way. Care to tell me how?
This seems to be the best thread for it so I’ll continue here.
Did the 3 apt-get commands but still no subtitles.
Added a few subtitles service providers so I guess I’ll manage but would still like to figure out why this doesn’t work.
Back to basics (mentioning irrelevant stuff as well just in case). Used CladDVD to rip a DVD (*), shows subtitles properly in VLC on my main computer. Sure have the subtitles in OSMC enabled visibly (tried fixed and bottom just in case) as I can see subtitles if I go and fetch one from podnapisi.
OSMC shows Local subtitle available.
Now what?
More info:
Had Raspberry installed on one of the original/early Pi’s since 2103 (Hardware says BCM2078 = Pi1?). Started to get video stutter recently on lots of files so finally got fed up and upgraded to OSMC. Way snappier (mostly), good job. Maybe time to donate again (although my quota for this year is full ).
*) File info shows (apparently this is for subtitles?). Haven’t had to dig around considering these issues for ages.
