Mythtranscode: Jellyfin not getting subtitles after use

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

I'm using the sendtonas script found in the forums:

https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?p=6179&sid=4670c55a4a3e5c0f256a4860f33f7e7a#p6179

The mythtranscode command line used is:

$INSTALLPREFIX/mythtranscode --chanid "$1" --starttime "$2" --mpeg2
--honorcutlist -o "$FALLBACKDIR/$TVTITLE-$2.mpg"

Anyway, I just noticed that Jellyfin isn't detecting any subtitles. Am
I missing something with the mythtranscode command or should I be asking
over at Jellyfin.

Just thought I'd check with my fellow myth users as I know quite a few are
running both.

Thanks.

You could try a before-and-after stream analysis:

mythffmpeg -hide_banner -i < Recorded Pathname >

You can get the path by pressing "i" twice from the Watch Recordings
screen.

Thanks. It turns out from more digging that Jellyfin doesn't detect the
closed caption stream from TV recordings. I have to run either ffmpeg or
ccextractor to create a .srt file. Then it works.
