Req Option to embed extneral subtitle into steam info
#1
If you have a movie that has a .srt file, EMM doesn't flag the media streams, so when you scan it into XBMC, it shows a sad no-cc icon.

It would be (very, very) nice if there was an option in EMM to automatically add a subtitle stream to any file found with an external sub (at least until XBMC itself recognizes external .srts when flagging icons)

you want EMM to modify the files?
I think that is completely our of scope for Ember and VERY dangerous.
I think you have to use dedicated tools for that...

I think he wants to display the subtitle metadata information of videos that have a .srt/.sub file in videofolder. Right now the Metadata-Page in Ember only displays subtitles for videofiles which have embedded subtitiles. This is because the metadata-info page in Ember gets populated by the external MediaInfo.dll http://mediaarea.net/de/MediaInfo. I will think about a solution for 1.4 and add this to feature request

Ohh noo, not asking for that...

Yeah, this.

Basically just have an option to add

Code:
<fileinfo>
    <streamdetails>
     <subtitle>
        <language>eng</language>
        <longlanguage>English</longlanguage>
      </subtitle>
    </streamdetails>
</fileinfo>

to any file that has a .srt/.sub file - EMM can already write this metadata, and it already detects the presence of sub files - just combining the methods. And a million bonus points if it could scrape the subtitles from Opensubtitles if they're missing Big Grin

There is a lot more than English in the world

'Default external subtitle language' could be an option for those subtitles where it's not apparent in the filename (ie, movie.eng.srt)

I don't really care if the language is saved as pig latin, as long as it makes the nice subtitle media flag come up :p
