Subtitles over Apple TV #28

Open Aizacktf opened 8 years ago

Aizacktf commented 8 years ago

Is there anyway to stream the movie with the subtitles?

Ivshti commented 8 years ago

we haven't tested Apple TV in a while.

If it works in your case ( we know it doesn't work on some versions ), it should provide subtitles along in the HLS. This does work with QuickTime (Right click on video -> Watch in QuickTime), so it should work on the AppleTV too.

If it does not, it's probably something weird, so please try first playing in QuickTime and then on the AppleTV from QuickTime as a workaround

that's how i'm streaming to apple tv by right clicking the video and opening quicktime, but the subtitles won't appear on quicktime so there's the main problem i guess

Ivshti commented 8 years ago

Can you somehow obtain the URL to hls.m3u8 which QuickTime has been getting, for example:

ps aux | grep QuickTime

And then curl it and see if there are subtitle m3u8's in it?

Stremio should pass subs to HLS, so it's interesting if quicktime doesn't pick them up. It used to

I'll test right now

@IsaacTobalina I nailed the issue. Turns out stremio uses HLS mode only if the stream is not mp4, and subtitles need to be passed through HLS to work.

will fix & release that ASAP, but for elegant Airplay support - I can't say anything since we don't have the resource to develop & test that enough to ensure it's good on all AppleTV versions
