Subtitles Help - Panasaonic TCP50X3

Hi everybody,

I'm having issues reading files with soft subtitles and I am wondering if it is possible that the TCP50X3 does not support soft subs?

I am currently using a proper file structure (i.e.: movie.avi , movie.srt; all in the same folder) as well as the following profile:
  Code:
<Profile id="PanaTV" name="Panasonic Viera Plasma TCP50X3" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
      <UPnPSearch>
         <FriendlyName>Panasonic MIL DLNA CP UPnP/1.*</FriendlyName>
         <Manufacturer>Panasonic</Manufacturer>
      </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
      <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.PacketVideoDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
      <MediaFormatProfiles>
         <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/divx">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>
      </MediaFormatProfiles>
        <Transcoding>
            <!-- remux DTS in MKV to AC3 -->
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3">
                <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="dca" />
            </Video>
            <!-- Remux all h264 video to MPEG-TS stream -->
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts">
                <Matches container="avi" vCodec="h264" />
                <Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />
                <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" profile="high"/>
       <!--Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" profile="high"/-->
            </Video>
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
                <Matches container="avi" vCodec="mpeg4" aCodec="ac3" />
                <Matches container="flv" />
            </Video>                 
            <!-- Transcode all other formats not supported -->
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
                <Matches container="asf" />
            <Matches container="avi" />
            </Video>             
            <Audio targetContainer="mp3">
                <Matches container="mp4" />
                <Matches container="flac" />
               <Matches container="ogg" />
            </Audio>
        </Transcoding>
      <Subtitles>
         <SoftSubs mime-type="text/srt" />
         <HardSubs>
         <RequiredFor container="mp4" />
         </HardSubs>
      </Subtitles>   
   </Profile>


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

was able to fix by adding:

<HardSubsTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="avi" />
</HardSubsTranscoding>

Thanks.

Yes, but that will burn them in, instead serve as a soft sub. It looks like Panasonic have a different software for all their models :roll: afaik, they support sort files with avid, just not with mp4, but who really knows.

If the log didn't include the TV's request for the srt resource, then it doesn't recognize it, if it does make a GET for it, it would be a problem with the srt file itself.
