Chinese subtitles > Jellyfin - makem - 2024-11-08
I am able to 'acquire' subtitles in a language, eg. English, and convert it to Mandarin for a series. I can get Jellyfin to recognise the file by adding .zh.hi prior to the '.srt'. The file is then detected in Jellyfin and displayed. eg Better Call Saul.zh.hi.srt
If I do the same for a movie English .srt Jellyfin does not detect it. eg Oddity.zh.hi.srt does not get detected
Is there a different 'identifier' for movies?
RE: Chinese subtitles > Jellyfin - theguymadmax - 2024-11-08
Movies and TV shows follow the same naming convention. Ensure that your subtitle matches the filename, for example:
/Oddity (2024)
Oddity.1080p.mkv
Oddity.1080p.chi.hi.srt

Thank you for that guide info.
You are suggesting I think, that the .zh.hi should work for both as I have ensured that the .srt name matches exactly the movie name. However, it is not seen. Have you any suggestion as to where I could be going wrong with movies? It is not just one movie, it is all.
eg. Obsession 2019 1080p BluRay x264-OFT.mkv
Obsession 2019 1080p BluRay x264-OFT.zh.hi.srt
I am using a NAS and upload the .srt file directly to the same directory in which the movie name is situated. This works for any series.
I notice that you use .chi.hi.srt. Bazarr which I use the find subtitles uses zh. I will try with chi.
Your interest is appreciated.
Edit: .chi did not work either

Try removing x264-OFT from the file names of both the subtitles and movie.

This is what I tried:
Obsession 2019 1080p BluRay.mkv
Obsession 2019 1080p BluRay.chi.srt
This was the result when played on my TV:
Playback Error
Playback failed because the media is not supported by the client.
RE: Chinese subtitles > Jellyfin - TheDreadPirate - 2024-11-08
I'm assuming you rescanned after changing the file name?
I found a github issue on this and both "chi" and "zh" are valid tags.

RE: Chinese subtitles > Jellyfin - makem - 2024-11-08
I stopped and then re-started Jellyfin in the NAS before playing it on the TV
RE: Chinese subtitles > Jellyfin - TheDreadPirate - 2024-11-08
I don't think restarting jellyfin triggers a library scan.
RE: Chinese subtitles > Jellyfin - makem - 2024-11-08
.
I don't see a way to to perform a library scan via the TV or via Unraid
I found that if you run Jellyfin on PC and goto Dashboard there is a Scan All Libraries button
RE: Chinese subtitles > Jellyfin - TheDreadPirate - 2024-11-08
You'd need to access the server from a browser, Jellyfin Media Player, or one of our mobile apps and initiate a scan in the dashboard.
