Subtitles on KDL-40HX723 (Sony Bravia 2011 profile)

Hi, I've searched the forum but can't find an answer. With some of my movies I've got forced subtitles in idx/sub format and when I check for serviio to burn them into the video the video won't play. It says can't connect to the server. They are m2ts files muxed from blu-ray. I've tried with srt with the same problem. I've tried muxing the idx/sub internally into an mkv, with the subtitles selected as forced in mkvmerge and the video plays but the subtitles don't show, same problem when i mux mkv with srt. Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can get the forced subs to show? Thnaks

Serviio doesn't support sub/idx subtitles yet, see ticket 1035.

You have to enable hardsubs i.e. subtitles will be burned into the video stream; see support page.

Thank you, I thought sub was compatible. I tested with the srt again and by chance I left the video running and about 20 seconds later the subtitiles appeared but with wierd characters. So I saved the srt to a utf 8 format with notepad and now it's working! :) It does come up with the server error sometimes but if I try again it works. From what I've read I guess it's because it's a large file.

How big is the file? Maybe @zip could help with that...
Cheers.
