Subtitles on Panasonic GT20

I have a Panasonic GT20 TV.

When I am using the "Panasonic GT...2011" profile the subntitles are working properly in some MKV files, but in some others I got the error message " Cannot read the file".
When I am using the "Panasonic (2010) profile I can see all the MKV files but without subtitles.

All these MKV files has subtitles because I can see it using a DLNA client in a PC.

Any idea, advise,... will be appreciated

Re: Subtitles on Panasonic GT20

MKV is just a file container type - we need to understand what type of video, audio and subtitles are in the MKV container (think of an envelope - knowing what type of envelope it is tells us nothing about what it contains). Use MediaInfo to post details of a files that is working and one that is not.

Also provide the details of your sub-title settings (Serviio Console,Delivery, Subtitles tab). The difference between the Viera 2011 and 2010 profiles is that the 2010 profile will transcode all MKV files, whereas the 2011 will only transcode selected ones - this could be what is happening - can you tell whether (when using the 2011 profile) the files that do not play sub-titles are being transcoded (pause the video - what does the Panasonic say the file is -(eg MPEG, MKV etc).

In the Panasonic in both cases, working and not working, the format I can see is "MKV". I am using the profile "Panasonic GT....2011"

Thank you in advanced for your help and comments.

Are you using the Option button on the remote to access sub-titles?

Re: Subtitles on Panasonic GT20

I have tried with

•Enable Subtitles - checked
•Enable Exctraction - unchecked
•Enable Burned-in Subtitles - unchecked

I have got the same behaviour with the "Panasonic GT... 2011" profile , working with the same MKV and not working with the other. the error message on TV is "Cannot read the file"

Yes, I am using the option button on the Panasonic TV to enable subtitles.

Thank you in advanced

Re: Subtitles on Panasonic GT20

Using the 2011 profile - when do you receive the error - when watching the video or only after activating the subtitle option?

I cannot see anything substantially different between the files. Try remuxing the non-working file perhaps to see if it is a container problem. Use the command :

    ffmpeg - i "L:\peliculas\Peliculas\Castle\Temp 4\[MEGAPACK] Castle - 4T [HDiT 720p H264 Ac3 Dual Subs][By althus][GrupoHDS]\Castle 4x01 Renacer [HDiT 720p H264 Ac3 Dual Subs][By althus-saave][GrupoHDS].mkv" -c copy -map 0 "L:\peliculas\Peliculas\Castle\Temp 4\[MEGAPACK] Castle - 4T [HDiT 720p H264 Ac3 Dual Subs][By althus][GrupoHDS]\Castle 4x01 Test.mkv"
and see if the newly created file works.

Re: Subtitles on Panasonic GT20

I got the error when I start watching the video.

But using the ffmpeg command that you have advised, it is now working properly.

Thank you for your support
