Subtitles srt error on LAN? - liberopadano - 2017-07-03 Hi to all, this is tha scenario:: HTPC server with windows 10, kodi 17.3, database MySQL. CLIENT with Windows 10 (2) and Windows 7 (1), kodi 17.3, connect via LAN to MySQL remote on server HTPC and path redirect via advancedsettings. this is advancedsettings : <advancedsettings> <videodatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>***.***.***.***</host> <port>****</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>********</pass> </videodatabase> <musicdatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>***.***.***.***</host> <port>****</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>********</pass> </musicdatabase> <videolibrary> <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate> </videolibrary> <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>E:\Film\</from> <to>smb://****:****@***.***.***.***/Film/</to> </substitute> <substitute> <from>G:\Film\</from> <to>smb://****:****@***.***.***.***/Film2/</to> </substitute> </pathsubstitution> <network> <buffermode>1</buffermode> <!-- Default is 1 --> <cachemembuffersize>52428800</cachemembuffersize> <!-- Default is 20971520 bytes or 20 MB --> <readbufferfactor>2.0</readbufferfactor> <!-- Default is 1.0 --> </network> </advancedsettings> this is the error: Each movie and its subtitles (srt format) are in their own subdirectory. On CLIENT: the movies and subtitles into '<from>E:\Film\</from' directory play perfectly. the movies into '<from>G:\Film\</from' directory play perfectly, subtitles do not work (recognized but not displayed): but if I copy the direcotry of subtitle from G:\Film into E:\Film the subtitle work! I believe that second repath G:\Film -> smb://****:****@***.***.***.***/Film2 work only for movies, but not for subtitles because kodi seem to use (only for subtitles) always first repath E:\Film -> smb://****:****@***.***.***.***/Film ! What I wrong ? thanks for your help.[/size] RE: Subtitles srt error on LAN? - Klojum - 2017-07-03 That's a lot of censoring... ;-) I'm not sure if path substitution is the best way of accessing your movies in this way. All Kodi clients should use the smb:// paths directly, and not via Windows drive letters. The Win machine should be able to connect to its own smb server, and avoid drive letters altogether. Quote:(recognized but not displayed)How does Kodi recognize subtitles when it does not play them? Can you alternate the subtitles via the 't' button? RE: Subtitles srt error on LAN? - liberopadano - 2017-07-03 Thank you Klojum for your quick reply. The drive letter (into movie's path) is recorded into MySQL table by kody when it scan the directory/library. Into advancedsettings I redirect the path using sbm and specifying IP address/directory of the server (into post I overrided it with *** for privacy reason). I can select a subtitles that kodi list to me (with 't' button) but the subtitle is not displayed. Only subtitles on first redirect path works! Subtitles srt error on LAN? - mchp92 - 2017-07-03 Maybe clean and rebuild you library with the smb settings so you get rid of the ugly path substitution RE: Subtitles srt error on LAN? - liberopadano - 2017-07-04 HI mchp92, after many tests I found the problem! scenario: My videos are stored into 2 HD on SERVER: E:\Film and G:|Film 1) If on my CLIENT (into advancedsettings file) I write (note the order of substitute: before Film, after Film2): : <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>E:\Film\</from> <to>smb://(user)psw)@(ip address server)/Film/</to> </substitute> <substitute> <from>G:\Film\</from> <to>smb://(user)psw)@(ip address server)/Film2/</to> </substitute> </pathsubstitution> from E:\Film\ : movies ok - subtitles ok from G:\Film\ : movies ok - subtitles do not display 2) If on my CLIENT (into advancedsettings file) I write (note the order of substitute: before Film2, after Film): <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>G:\Film\</from> <to>smb://(user)psw)@(ip address server)/Film2/</to> </substitute> <substitute> <from>E:\Film\</from> <to>smb://(user)psw)@(ip address server)/Film/</to> </substitute> </pathsubstitution> from E:\Film\ : movies ok - subtitles ok from G:\Film\ : movies ok - subtitles ok 3) Seem that KODI, only for the subtitles, when it resolve the substitute of directory's path it is deceived by the names of paths (from and/or to).when they are very similar |
