Hard subtitles transconding

Hi,

Since updating to v1.4, I've been having issues with my hard subtitles. Everything worked fine when using the following lines in v1.3.1:

<HardSubsTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="avi" />
</HardSubsTranscoding>

but this no longer works.

Can somebody please briefly explain how the HardSubsTranscoding command works? or point me to the proper resource? I have not found anything on this.

Thank you!

What is your settings in the Subtitles tab in Serviio Console?

All 3 boxes checked:
1) Enable subtitles
2) Enable extraction of subtitles embedded in video files
3) Enable burned-in subtitles: Only when required

I think it has to do with my profiles.xml, because Serviio service can't be started.

Well that makes sense...

<Video targetContainer="avi" />

AVI is not a valid target container, so this line is invalid. I suspect you got something wrong when modifying your profiles.xml. Remove your modifications and get Serviio up and running again.

Once working then try to modify your profile - I suspect what you are trying to do is tell Serviio to use hard-subs for an AVI container, in which case the mod should probably look more like:

<HardSubs>
<RequiredFor container="avi" />
</HardSubs>
