Hi Dread, thank you. I enabled this but I am not seeing any subtitles when I select the PGS subtitle track. Is there something else I need to do?

Can you start a separate thread in the troubleshooting sub-forum? And can you share your jellyfin logs via pastebin and post the link there?

Yes sorry. Here is the post in troubleshooting https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-experimenta...ot-working

Hey folks, I am facing this weird issue where in some files, PGS subs just stop working once past a particular timestamp, and no matter if I swap to other subs (in PGS format), reload the movie, restart the browser app or restart jellyfin server, it just wont work past that particular timestamp, the subs work fine when transcoding and local media players also work fine.

Since jellyfin doesnt log anything for pgs rendering, is there anything I can do to or any kind of debug logging I can add and debug this issue locally? I just need a general direction for debugging, I'll figure the rest on my own, thanks!

Here's my thread for more context: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-pgs-subs-st...-the-movie

Then I extract all PGS subtitles, store them as .sub files next to the video. Then I run an automatic script to OCR the images and create an SRT file. The OCR only works half the time. Some images can't be read at all and are empty and every tenth word has a typo.

I've had relatively good experiences with this: https://github.com/gwen-lg/subtile-ocr

Hello all,

I'm create libbitsub as an better alternative to libpgs-js it's has >10x the performance of libpgs-js on PGS and add support to vobsub native renderer.

I don't really use jellyfin that much but because I use libpgs for my video streaming site side hobby, that support renderering of subtitles on video player.
And after I use libpgs for the renderer of my heavy ass to PGS subtitles that also contain karaoke section the libpgs really cannot handle it, at first I tried to optimize it but no luck be because the pure JavaScript is too slow so I switched to rust that compile to wasm and it's flys.
Libbitsub also added support to vobsub that I really cannot see any library that do this while still backwards compatible with libpgs (should be a dropped-in replacement but I haven't tested other than my own use cases).

I hope this is too should be added to jellyfin too.

You can check it out here (and the showcases):

@altqx The author of libpgs-js may not be monitoring this thread. Perhaps you could start an issue on GitHub to discuss how to proceed, switch to your faster fork while maintaining compatibility, or merge your changes into the original project if possible.

@altqx Hey Im currently actively developing a new web player (soon to be released TM), saw that post and directly integrated your library. Works great!
