wrong subtitle language detected

[ricobelo]

Hi,

I am trying to rename my TV show episodes using the language information from the text Map (text.language or texts[0].language)
it works globally fine but I have encountered a strange case. The text language is undefined (confirmed with MediaInfo and VLC) but filebot defines it as 'en' for English. Actually the actual language for the subs is French.

Anyone could explain to me how is the English subs language detected ?

Thanks

Here is the MediaInfo Text extraction :

Text

Format : UTF-8
Codec ID : S_TEXT/UTF8
Codec ID/Info : UTF-8 Plain Text

Bit rate : 103 bps

then the filebot Text extraction :

1.
{text} is a MediaInfo binding only works for media files / embedded subtitle streams.

e.g. according to MediaInfo, the subtitles are English, because the subtitle stream is tagged as English (which may or may not be correct) by whoever created the file:

Code: Select all

Language en

libmediainfo says that it's English. If the mediainfo console tool says something different, then it's probably because the version is different, or your command doesn't list all mediainfo properties.


2.
{lang} is based on language detection from filename (eng suffix) / subtitle content (statistical language detection) and only works for subtitle files.
