Normal Subtitle Track contains all Subtitles (1-9)įorced Subtitle Track contains only Subtitles (3,6,8)Ĭase 2 - Subtitle Track (only Forced Subtitles with Flag set) (Setting the flag makes no sense, but it is possible) So it makes sense to always select both options and figure it later with VLC out and remove or reorder the tracks with MkvToolNix.
Case 2 makes no sense, but can be used, case 3 is used on many discs, but in this case the MakeMkv "Forced subtitle track" is empty. The MakeMkv "Forced subtitle track" makes only sense for case 1, to extract the forced set subtitles form all others into an extra track. Case 1 is often used for foreign subtitles, all subs in one track and the forced with flag set. This seems to work with my limited testing will update accordingly.There are three different subtitle contens possible in an track. I then open up the MKV file in MPC-HC and see if it looks as it should. (If you have multiple subs or also have the forced track you can use MKVToolNix to set the sub track you want as "default" - "Default Track" - Yes) This should actually be it - Kodi will pick it up automatically Update for any who are interested in the future:Ĭheck that the desired language subtitles exist (Get the Gringo didn't have English subs for me) Is there a way to ensure the behvaiour I am after? Using something like MKVToolNix? What should I look out for exactly? Thanks! Get the Gringo - no subtitles Kodi does not find any subtitle tracks whatsoever Love and Mercy (Polish movie) - English subs are on for the Polish parts only (not too bad) Lincoln - works as expected English subs are on by default In MakeMKV I check both "English and English (forced)" however Kodi handles it quite strangely some examples:
Most info on the internet is about forced subtitles yet since my wife and I usually watch movies at a low volume (don't want to take the baby!) - we use (English) subtitles. Hello all, I am in the process of digitizing my Bluray collection and had a question about the subtitle flags & behaviour in Kodi (18.9).
