    Hello,

    I am not sure what happened, I was away from home for about 2 weeks and after I returned, my Jellyfin doesn't see embedded subtitles. It was working fine before. I am running Jellyfin via Docker Compose and on a Ubuntu Server - the server as well as the container has not restarted/shutdown during the time I was away.

    Just to be complete, same issue on webapp (the screenshots are from the webapp) and on Tizen app. Jellyfin version is 10.9.11

    What I mean is, it doesn't even show them as selectable option:

    This is the same across all my media files unless it has external subtitle files directly in the media folder:

    So I checked the library options and checked for allowing embedded subs, which was set to None. I don't understand why or how, no one else has access to my server and it's only running locally, no access from internet. Anyways, I changed it to "Allow Text", rescan the library and... issue is still the same.

    Then I was like OK, don't know why this happened but if it sees external subtitles, I will just extract them. Which I did, installed Subtitle Extractor plugin, it ran for about 13 minutes... and nothing.

    If I root into the container the subtitles are there, for example:

    but Jellyfin still doesn't offer them.

    Same after restarting the container and rescanning the library multiple times.

    Any ideas as to why or what else can I do?

    Thanks!

    EDIT: Changed the images to URLs as the images were not showing

    Are your embedded subtitles PGS or DVDSUB? If so, "Allow text" wouldn't show them since both are image based subs.

    It's only .srt because I have Bazarr setup to ignore media with embedded .srt subtitles but download external subtitles for anything with image based subs. That's how I ended up with some media having those external ones.

    Can you run ffprobe on one of your files and share the output?
