while enabling the subtitle burn-in for all complex formats helped… the subtitles show up a little early. And instead of just forced, it shows them all the time. It also didn’t totally solve the problem. Seems like the issue is triggered at the transition points where forced subtitles would start or stop. The playback jumps to some others spot in the show, and the subtitles end up being from a totally difference scene. :(
Thanks to @Shadow@lemmy.ca and @Lem453@lemmy.ca Windows event viewer put me on the right path. The errors were coming from the .net installation. Which reminded me that I had recently uninstalled visual studio, and that jellyfin uses .net. Rerunning the jellyfin installer fixed the .net issue and I am up and running again.
Thanks, that had info I could work with.
Winner winner chicken dinner. It’s been a few years since I had to do any real debugging on windows and I totally forgot about the event viewer. Thanks for the tip.
For anyone reading along, looks like there is a problem with my .net installation. That is probably because I uninstalled visual studio recently. It “shouldn’t” have caused an issue, but M$…
Mine doesn’t handle forced subtitles right or something. But I haven’t started trying to tweak it yet. But when I watch like “invasion”. It struggles during the Japanese scenes. The subtitles get out of sync and then eventually stop showing up all in one episode. Someone else mentioned something that might be the same and a trick for it that I will try soon.
There are a lot of things there I don’t know much about… yet. People have said that the issues in the news don’t apply to the linked mini pc because it is a 12 gen. I haven’t even picked a distro to install on it yet, so I don’t know much about the versions. And I don’t have any idea what ReBAR is in this context…
