Thanks so much. It seems that it can be DLNA problem. Usually I’m using *.txt subtitles and *.srt rather rarely. In the past it worked better as I remember but maybe after soem WD upgrade it has broken… Regards Jacek

I have no problems playing SRT subtitle files via a DLNA client (a Roku) from the My Cloud. Don’t recall if Twonky on the my Cloud (ever) supported subtitle files in “.txt” format.

The Samsung TV subtitle not working properly issue with the My Cloud Twonky DLNA media server comes up from time to time. With no real workaround since the problem appears to be with the DLNA client within certain Samsung TVs, as other DLNA clients can display subtitle (srt) files properly. Some thing to check is to ensure the subtitle file is properly formatted, sometimes they are not if pulled from some locations on internet. Make sure the subtitle file (.srt) has the exact same name as the movie file it goes with.

The reason why it works when you connect and use a USB media device is because of the way the Samsung TV is accessing the USB device (not using DLNA).

Here are some past discussions on certain Samsung TV’s and the inability to properly play subtitle files.
