I have a strange problem with subtitles. Although the preferred language for subtitles is set to 'en' in the Serviio Console, the subtitles are actually served in an apparently random variety of languages – most commonly Polish, but also Romanian, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Estonian, Dutch, French and probably a few others – but never English! This is so annoying that I have had to turn off online subtitles. However, there are times when it would be useful to have them, e.g. when I am watching with a friend who has impaired hearing.
What could be causing this? What can I do to troubleshoot it?
Most of my videos are downloaded from BBC iPlayer, ITV and Channel 4. I am streaming them from Serviio on my Windows PC to my Samsung TV (model UE32H5500). The TV normally has subtitles turned off by default, but this seems to be overridden when it receives a stream from Serviio containing subtitles. I am sure that the problem is with Serviio rather than with the TV.
Thanks for your help,
