Subtitle issue

Hi,

First of all thanks for reading this. I have been looking the forum for similar issues. I found them but none with a solution. Most because the poster did not upload the required log files.
I try to stream MKV files with embedded subtitels. It works for majority of the video files, but not for all.

Attached you'll find the ffmpeg -i output.
The stream I need is 0:3.

As you can see, there is no language specified
Stream #0:3: Subtitle: subrip

Windows mediaplayer does show the subtitels but they are labeled: Unidentified
However, I don't know if that is the issue because also the english subtitels do not appear.

I use Serviio PRO v 1.6.1 on my QNAP nas 453-A.
In the subtitle section of the console I tried to play around with the different options, but none of them made any difference.

I tried to stream to my XBOX one, My PS3 or TV and they all show the same behaviour.

Thanks in advance,

Yves

ps: Not sure if it matters, but the ffmpeg command is executed from my PC, not from my NAS.

Yeah, that won't work if there is no language specifier. You'd have to remux the file and give the stream a language code.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping to avoid that :)
But it still doesn't explain for me why English is not working either...
