Description

Since the big re-design external subtitles won't be loaded via UPnP. If the subtitles are inside the MKV container it works, though. Please fix this issue as soon as possible as I am not able to watch movies with subtitles anymore when streamed via uPnP.

If you mark "Include all subtitlesfiles from dictory" it will work, but only if the movie dont contains any subtitles. At least i does for me :D

Unfortunately, that does not work for me. I already have that option set. If subtitles are embedded into the movie, then they will display correctly. But most of the time, especially with TV series, that is not the case and there is no way to use them at the moment over DLNA.

I think this is a problem with SRT files that start with UTF-8 or UTF-16 BOM markers.

At least it works fine for me from minidlna (except the BOM problem, that is)

Seems that the track is now loaded but it does not show up in the list of available subtitle tracks...

It's now working for me again, great work! I really enjoy your way of doing things. I will donate again :)
