No srt support for videos through upnp

[ZeroCool7545]

I have the Sony KD-43XD8305 and when I watch a video via a upnp connection with my pc the player doesn't recognise the srt file.

I have the srt file on the same folder with the video and it has the same filename with video too.

Is there a workarround, I have hearing problems and a sub it's mandatory for me in order to watch any videos.

Hi @ZeroCool7545 - I've checked this for you and the video player doesn’t support subtitle files I'm afraid. So I recommend you try a different player from the Play Store.

Cheers,

Thank you for your responces.Maybe you can add support for srt files in the near future cause all the other players at the store doesn't have the picture quality the internal player has.

I don't think DLNA (UPnP) supports extrnal subtitles. Or at least I never managed to have them showing. You need to merge (mux) the subtitles with the video. Doing so Sony's Video recognises and show them.

Otherwise you may consider to use either Plex or SPMC (a Kodi fork for Android). With SPMC/Kodi you won't even need DLNA, it builds your movies/TV shows library in the computer via SMB/SSH/NFS/WebDAV connections. And it has an option to download subtitles while playing a video. Plex instead can automatically download subs for your videos if configured to do so.
