trying to get subtitles to work

:mrgreen:

I have mkv's with hard subs that won't ever show on serviio.

The video and audio play, but no subtitles.

The devices I am using are a chromecast and a panasonic bluray bdt230.

Here is the file info for one of the files:

Re: trying to get subtitles to work

Did you enable Embedded subtitles and use 'jpn' as the preferred language for subtitles?

Note that embedded subs will not always work, as it may take ages to extract the file and the TV in the meantime times out.

Re: trying to get subtitles to work

yes, it looks like that's what is happening.

I guess I can always rip the subs to a same named srt and place that in the same folder and it should work.

Thanks, I guess it's asking a lot to play a movie while extracting subtitles and play it all to my tv instantly.

I wanted to learn Japanese anyway.

thanks zip
