Burning Subtitles - Selecting Wrong Stream

Hello All,

I'm trying to watch a certain show with subtitles enabled. They are embedded into the MKV, and since I'm streaming to a PS3, I need to burn in the subtitles to see them thanks to the PS3's terrible subtitle support. I've configured Serviio to burn in ENG subtitles, and while they are properly burned in, my issue is that Serviio is using the wrong subtitle track.

There are two subtitle tracks in this MKV, both ENG language and coded as such. The first one (Stream #0:3) is what I want Serviio to encode, but it is encoding the second one (Stream #0:4). Stream #0:3 is set as the default, plus it is the first in the list, so why wouldn't Serviio pick that one?

If I remux the file and strip out Stream #0:4 entirely, Serviio does burn-in the proper stream, so the language detection is working as expected. However, for whatever reason, Serviio is using Stream #0:4 for the burn-in. Any ideas?

  Code:

C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exe" -i "D:\ServerFolde
rs\TV Shows\Sword Art Online\[CBM]_Sword_Art_Online_-_01_-_The_World_of_Swords_[
720p]_[0F9DF69B].mkv"

Bump. Anyone?

I guess it just picks one randomly. Will check the code and try to fix it.

Thanks, Zip

Zip, if it helps any, it appears that the last subtitle track is the one being chosen for the burn-in. I had the same issue with another series, so I went ahead and switched the desired subtitle track to the end. Even though another track was set as the default, it picked the last one to burn-in.

It's been fixed for 1.4.1
