Let’s be real. It’s going to be sitting right next to your piracy stack. Just as Plex and Jellyfin are. Plus, the name already fit. It’s a clipper. If I say “Cliparr” you can IMMEDIATELY understand what the app is, or at least have a significantly better idea.
That’s good to know, appreciate that. It SHOULD still be working. It has the ability to read the subtitle tracks off any supported media. I will say, I am not as thorough in my manual testing of Jellyfin as I am for Plex.
Any chance I could bother you to open a GitHub issue? Or just give me some details here? I will definitely get this fixed and make sure there is a test case for whatever this specific scenario is.
Here’s what would be super helpful for me:
In Jellyfin, open the “Media Info” and scroll down to the Subtitle section. What codec and language is it showing? You can paste the full info if you want. There may be more than one track.
In Cliparr, while those subtitles are visible and playing in Jellyfin, look in the right-side Subtitles sidebar. See where it says “+ Add subtitle”? To the right of that is a (…) menu. Click that (…), what does it say in there?
I assume for you, it might say “Start Blank”, which would mean it did not recognize any subtitle tracks, either from the file, or as a “sidecar” stream.
I’m going to get a PR open to add more logging around subtitles specifically. I checked and unfortunately I do not have the log in place that would be the most helpful here. But please do tell me if you see any browser console logs. If you do open an issue, I’ll send you 3.1.1-rc soon.
Be careful to check any logs for private info before sharing. Anything you might not want to share, like maybe user folder names, etc.
Just make sure you can see subtitles in Jellyfin or Plex first. In Plex for example, I often need to use Plex’s subtitle search first and enable subtitles on the stream.
That was always the case! I only added custom subtitles somewhat recently. Either way, yes.
I’m sick of reddit. I’ve been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don’t get banned though
It has not changed. Your experience is, you didn’t read the docs, made an assumption, and have been incorrect ever since. Idc if you call it a lie or not, but you know now. If you continue to spread this misinformation, it is absolutely a lie.
This is incorrect and parroted constantly. It almost feels intentional.
Im really hoping, waiting, for a good dense long-term storage medium. It doesn’t have to be fast, but large, cheap, and durable. I want a way to backup my plex library, or even, daily backups of documents and project files, and I don’t want to think about them ever again.
I am assuming they may be PGS subs, rather than SRT. I’m going to put out an update that detects unsupported sub types, rather than quietly ignoring them.
If you have a subtitle plugin in jellyfin, try downloading subtitles from an external source. That should work (will almost for sure be srt).
