![]() MakeMKV will also do this is you select “forced only”. The last option is to take the track with all the subtitles and use something like BDSup2Sub to export a new track with only the forced subtitles.In this case, selecting this track in Kodi, and also choosing “only forced” should also give you the result you want. If the movie does not have a separate track with only the forced subtitles, then they must be included in with the general track, and only a few would be marked as “forced”.I do this for MKVs of movies I create, and it gives the result you want (only subtitles for non-English dialog are shown, with no user intervention required). When you create the MKV file, you should set this track to both “Default” and “Forced”. Does the movie have a separate track that includes only the forced subtitles? If so, did you include it in the MKV? That’s the track you want.There are several things that need to be checked: This is a thing team Kodi didn’t like to change as in their mind a forced subtitle track must always matched the played audio track. Though it’s quite an easy patch to fix that. Japanese audio only, you have English set in Kodi, and a forced English track is set - Kodi will not automatically select forced subtitles. If no matching audio track is present - e.g. There you can easily set the flag or add it without any need to remux. To set flags - in case not present or wrong - open the MKV in MKVToolNix and drag the file in question into the header editor. A feature to always read subtitles and display the lines that are marked as forced is not supported by Kodi. Not properly flagged in header, then Kodi doesn’t know what the subtitle in intended for. Then when using “forced subtitles” only Kodi will the select the forced one for the language you have defined in Kodi itself and if a matching audio track is present as well. Make sure your MKVs have the proper flags set, so that the forced subtitle track has actually the flag for forced subtitle set. I have tried a number of settings, including only forced subtitles (which is what I assumed it would be) and can only seem to get either no subtitles, or subtitles all of the time (including audio descriptions). Playing the discs directly works like this. I can manually turn the subtitles on and off showing that they are correctly encoded in the rip, but this subtitles everything including English language conversation and audio descriptions of music. For most of my films I do not want subtitles shown as they are in English, but on films where there are sections of foreign language conversation (such as in Sicario 2) where I want those to be subtitled so that I can understand what is being said. My movies are direct MKV rips from my discs, and all include the English subtitle track. I want to enabled forced subtitles, but can’t seem to get it to work. So far, I have had to use the SubRip method with Angels & Demons and Boondock Saints II.Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I have searched the forums and can’t find a solution. ![]() It might take a few tries before you get it. I simplified things a bit so make sure you read about each program first, then try it. Once you get the subtitles saved, you can import them into the mkv with mkvmerge and set the default and forced flags as described above. A few words about MKV First off, many of you know that MKV represents Matroska Video. Make sure you go into Options->Global Options and set the "Forced subtitles only" dialog button. SubRip is an OCR tool that will dig out all the subtitles and allow you to save them as a. ![]() Solution: Run a tool like SubRip on the DVD. More and more players are honoring the mkv "forced" flag.ģ) They are embedded in the English subtitle tracks When she runs away to the north and appoints herself. However, the fact the entire sequence feels familiar is precisely the problem with this production. (depending on the player, you may want to set the "Default track flag" to "yes" as well. Only twenty minutes into the movie and the whole thing sadly feels like a regurgitation of almost every epic film featuring a similar plot about the woes of true love. Solution: Use mkvmerge to set the appropriate subtitle track's "Forced track flag" to "yes". Solution: N/A (The subtitles are automatically displayed) Subtitles show up 1 of 3 different ways (on DVDs): I am able to make a working mkv file but it does not include the English subtitles that appear occasionally through out the movie. ![]()
