Streaming mp4 with soft subtitles on a SMP-N100
Hello,
First of all, thanks for the best DLNA server out there. I did try a few before downloading Serviio, and I gotta say, this is the best, hands down. And free, of course.
Ok, here is my problem:
I have a Sony SMP-N100, and for the past months I've been happy streaming divx files with soft subtitles (using AVIAddXSubs to burn srt in them).But then, the scene decided to switch to mp4.
Oh well, I turned transcoding on in Serviio and the mp4s are playable in my SMP. But now, how do I stream subtitles?
External Srts didn't work even for divx/avi files. AVIAddXSubs when confronted to a mp4, creates idx/sub files. Which of course don't stream at all.
Last night, I read about YAMB and how it can add soft subtitles to mp4 files. I thought I was saved, but no, the SMP can't enable them. So now, my last resort is hard burning the subs in the mp4 files. Is that the only way?
