ffProbe - How to generate a list of subtitles in a video file

Hans — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 11:03:46 +0000

I was looking for a quick way to generate a list of subtitles found in a given video file using ffmpeg.

This does the trick:

ffprobe YourVideoFile.mkv  2>&1 | grep "Subtitle"

which generates a list like so:

  Stream #0:2(eng): Subtitle: subrip (srt)
  Stream #0:3(eng): Subtitle: subrip (srt) (original) (hearing impaired)

Or more advanced:

ffprobe -loglevel error -select_streams s -show_entries stream=index:stream_tags=language -of csv=p=0 YourVideoFile.mkv

Which generates a more concise list:

2,eng
3,eng

Or if you only want to see the English (eng) subtitles:

ffprobe -loglevel error -select_streams s -show_entries stream=index:stream_tags=eng -of csv=p=0 YourVideoFile.mkv

Which generates:

2
3

Subtitles: How to extract EIA-608 / EIA-708 subtitles from an MP4 or MKV?

Hans — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 11:37:27 +0000

Sometimes one runs into that weird (HDTV) video file with an obscure subtitle format which ffmpeg and ffprobe do not even see but your media player (I use IINA on my Mac) and Media Info do show these subtitle tracks marked as EIA-608 and/or EIA-708.

An example screenshot of Media Info:

673

So how do we extract this subtitle to an SRT file?

Seem ffmpeg can actually do something with this file. Extract the subtitle like so:

ffmpeg -f lavfi  -i "movie='YourVideoFilename.mp4' " -map 0:s:0 eia608_subs.srt

** Mind the double and single quotes ...

This will result in a proper SRT file (with a potentially formatting tags).

Note: -map 0:s:0 will select the first EIA-608 subtitle.
If there are multiple you can select the next one with -map 0:s:1, and the next one with -map 0:s:2, etc.

Youtube Comments are not Loading, any help

edstracke23 — Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:46:33 +0000

Hello everyone, Today I am facing a serious issue. I have a youtube channel. But I am shocked to see that the youtube comments are not loading. I also checked the other comments on youtube, the same issue is happening.

I checked out my friend's laptop to verify, whether the same issue is happening or not. It's fine, there is showing the comments properly. But it is not loading on my laptop. I can't figure out the problem.

Can anyone suggest me is this my laptop issue or anything else? Any helps would be definitely appreciated.

The Umbrella Academy Is Missing

CCCP64 — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 06:30:59 +0000

good morning though you might want to know "the Umbrella Academy" is not found by renamemytvseries. i don't know how it polls for new shows, but i do know that the umbrella academy is correct on the tvdb cause if it wasn't it wouldn't be listed on trakt or in duckietv. o.k. just thought to enter "Umbrella" ny itself and the show was listed. no idea why it's not finding it by the full title.
