Question about the OpenSubtitles Plugin. - GForce2010 - 2023-06-22

I asked this question on the Reddit group but it was just before it went read only so I never received any responses.

I have a few movies where there are short foreign parts that need forced subtitles.

Before moving to Jellyfin I would download the subtitles into a local .srt file but I see that there is a OpenSubtitles plugin available for Jellyfin.

Before I went to the trouble of setting it up and registering for an account I thought I would ask on here if it's able to forces subtitles for foreign parts only or is it more setup to load subtitles for all dialogue?

Thanks.

Hey @GForce2010,

What you are looking for are "foreign-Subtitles". Those subtitles contain parts where only partial parts are contained like a character are speaking another language. You can enable those kinds of subtitles to be selected as default in your profile in jellyfin.

If you have external files like described here:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/external-files
Ensure you have the correct filename and extensions for those filenames, for foreign subtitles its akin to:

Code:
MOVIENAME (YEAR).DE.foreign.srt

for example if you have a movie

Code:
Stargate (1998).mkv

A subtitles would be

Code:
Stargate (1998).DE.foreign.srt

You can also "force" a subtitle to be considered the default subtitle if you append .default.srt to the filename

I have tried using OpenSubtitles plugin though for some reason it would not grab any of them so I have to use toold like TinyMediaManager to pull them Confused-face
