Subtitle codec 94213 is not supported

Kaos

Hello,
I'm trying to understand how to solve the issue with the subtitles with the codec 94213.
Reading here seems that the flag -c:s srt should help with the mkv file format.
I added that flag in "Video Codec Parameters", but isn't helping: https://pastebin.com/ENbDMWrQ
I guess that's for this reason:

Multiple -c, -codec, -acodec, -vcodec, -scodec or -dcodec options specified for stream 3, only the last option '-c:s:0 copy' will be used

Is there another way to solve this?

I ran into this a few days back. I ended up just running the command manually on the files in the cli because it was just a couple. I also kept the old version just in case I needed it for testing something later down the line. Guess that paid off.

The "Video Codec Parameters" are literally video parameters so they are inserted before the subtitle ones at the end.
As you can see in your log's ffmpeg arguments:
FFMpeg.Arguments: -probesize 5M -hwaccel cuda -i "D:\Conversione\Da convertire\House - S08E07 - Dead and Buried.mp4" -y -strict -2 -map 0:v:0 -c:v:0 hevc_nvenc -c:s srt -b:v:0 3670k -minrate 2752k -maxrate 4587k -bufsize 7339k -map 0:a:0 -c:a:0 copy -map 0:a:1 -c:a:1 copy -map 0:s:0 -c:s:0 copy -map 0:s:1 -c:s:1 copy C:\Users\franc\AppData\Roaming\FileFlows\Temp\Runner-69770da1-4626-4971-a8c3-1dd8d10d468f\ffbb9322-633c-48a2-af33-d542ff799318.mkv

I just threw together a script that will convert the current working file to an mkv with ALL subs converted to srt. Should be put in the flow at least before whatever is throwing your error. I have it right at the beginning in my test flow. Keep in mind this will convert ALL subs to srt. I haven't tested it with any other files than the ones that caused this issue.

Uhm, I can't download the attachment.

Seems logical, "Video..." is for just video parameters 🙂
Regarding the suggestion of a script, it would be interesting if there was a method to avoid conversion to SRT for all files that are already valid, for example I don't have interest in converting ASS subtitles.

Yeah, I cant download it either funnily enough. I spent a little time trying to figure out a way to parse the file codecs to only do it if it was that type, so I could just stick it at the front of my flow and let it ride. But I couldn't figure it out with just what is there vanilla. Setting up ffprobe as a tool in my docker environment would have taken more effort than I cared to put in.

Here is a pastebin for the code, that was in the script file I posted that cant be downloaded, if you want to mess with it. You'll need to copy paste since the import uses some special json files.

Fixed the issue where users couldn't download. You would expect it to default to members allowing to download, but it defaulted to only admin....

If you can provide me a sample file with that codec iI can look into making this easier.

reven Making it easier would be nice.
I did just finish this script that deals with any subtitle that has the codec mov_text, which seems to be the one in question, return from ffprobe.

But it requires FFProbe being setup as a tool. So an extra step for people who may not want to or know how take it.

Alright, uploaded plugins version 0.7.1.266 which now has an option to remove mov_text both in the "FFMPEG Builder: Subtitle Format Remover" and the older "Subtitle Format Remover" (non FFMPEG Builder version)
