SOLVED: Cannot Get .srt Subtitles In Same Folder To Play / "Undefined - SUBRIP - External"

[Fate]

I don't think those are .ass files.

The Kill Bill Vol 1 subtitle file aka the .srt file has the following:


2
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:24,072
Do you find me sadistic?

3
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:37,486
You know, I bet I could fry
an egg on your head right now.

4
00:01:37,564 --> 00:01:39,794
If I wanted to.

5
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,292
You know, kiddo...


With this in mind, I can't tell why Jellyfin does not like movies with subtitle .srt files that aren't first played in VLC first.

Is this some kind of weird permission issue with Jellyfin's container?

I might try Kodi on the same box to see if that has issues and if not, might choose to use Kodi instead since I want nice box art but actual subtitles that actually work.

Kind of wish there was a cooler version of VLC that had box art too, then I would be set.

Yeah that clearly is .srt subtitles...

Can you mux them together with the video into mkv and check if that plays?
