Extract Subs from Videofiles to SRT

Post by NotANoobLol »

Hello,

I'm running SAB on a Raspberrypi 3 which also runs a Plex Server. Obviously the Raspberry is too weak to transcode, so Subtitles won't show up while they are within the Videocontainer.

I already did some research and I found a Script. Unfortunateley it's for every subtitle file extention and doesn't converte these to SRT.

Is there any Script which extracts the Subtitles from Video files (Mostly MKV, AVI in my case) to the SRT format?


Happy for any help!

You could use that script you linked to to perform the initial extraction, then convert the output with ffmpeg as shown here:
