"Experimental PGS subtitle rendering" not working - mistamoronic - 2025-01-15

I was trying to get this working https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-native-pgs-support and am using the " Experimental PGS subtitle rendering " setting in the subtitles page, however I am unable to see PGS subtitles now. Here are my subtitle settings

Here are the logs when I play a movie with PGS subtitles:

What browser are you using? Do you have any browser extensions that could block scripts?


RE: "Experimental PGS subtitle rendering" not working - mistamoronic - 2025-01-15

I am using firefox and I didn't think about script blocking extensions. So I tried the jellyfin media player and that will display the subs correctly, so I can just use the media player on my desktop. Then I tried on my webOS LG TV and that one didn't work, but that's where I will mainly be watching my content. Heres the log for that one, I tried a couple different movies on the TV and I think the log for the media player is mixed in all of that too so hopefully that it shows it not working on the LG TV.

Can you show me the output of ffprobe on Interstellar? I am seeing a bunch of subtitle extraction failures in the log.


RE: "Experimental PGS subtitle rendering" not working - mistamoronic - 2025-01-15

So interestingly, when I played Interstaller on the Jellyfin Media Player and it worked, and showed the subtitles, I went back to my TV to try and get the log for you and it shows the subtitles now on the TV. Is it just that I have to wait for the subtitles to load or something? I noticed when I was first playing Interstellar on the TV that it was like buffering a little bit, with no subtitles.

Here are the logs for the same thing happening with Harry Potter, no subs and the movie is stuttering/buffering at times.

Install the Subtitle Extract plugin, restart jellyfin, go to the scheduled tasks dashboard, run the subtitle extract job, and once that finishes try again.

I actually already have that plugin and it ran yesterday, but I will run it again and try.
