Find me a way to watch videos with srt

[Ba_Ak]

I have WDMyCloud 4TB. I use DLNA for connecting to Samsung Smart TV (UE-48JU6610). As u know, DLNA doesn’t support srt files… (at least samsung support tells me that)

Now i need an advice. What should i do (or use) to watch movies on my Smart TV with subtitles via MyCloud… One of the reason was that to buy this product.

Thnx <3

you can probably install miniDLNA (via Nazar’s app thread) and turn off MyCloud’s media server…

Absolutely NOT true. DLNA does support SRT subtitle files. Its just, as was explained previously, your Samsung Smart TV DLNA client does not (from streaming network content). We covered this in your previous thread and provided one potential solution to get around the issue that include burning in (hard coding) the subtitles into the video file.

The problem in this instance is the DLNA client used on certain Samsung TV not supporting SRT from network sources. There have been several prior threads on this particular Samsung TV issue.

There is no subtitles in movies

Sorry, but sometimes there is no clear answer or solution. If one does a Google search for Samsung TV SRT they'll see that this problem is not just a My Cloud problem. It happens with other NAS (like QNAP) and DLNA servers (like Plex). People are reporting they can play SRT files with their movies when they use the USB just not when they connect to a DLNA media server. The problem may lie with the DLNA client used by the Samsung TV and not necessarily with the DLNA server (Twonky) used on th…

No SRT subtitles via DLNA on Samsung ue48js9000 with my book live 4TB

Hi, I just bought the new Samsung ue48js9000 uhd and cannot play SRT subtitles via DLNA / Network (tried cable and Wifi) with WD my book live 4TB. Embebed subtitles in MKV play ok. SRT subtitles play ok if connected via USB drive to OCB. With other TV's at home SRT subtitles play fine via DLNA / Network (Samsung F7000 and D6500).

If one does an internet search they’ll see that others using other NAS devices are having similar problems with certain Samsung smart TV’s.

at least samsung support tells me that

They told you that their Media Client in a Samsung TV is not able to use SRT files provided via Ethernet. @Bennor described well the truth.

so u guys say “burning in (hard coding) the subtitles into the video file” is the only solution for me? It tooks so long and quality getting worse…

[Bennor]

Not sure why the quality would get worse. I’ve used Handbrake to hard code/embed/burn in subtitles from SRT files to MP4 video files and didn’t notice any change in the video quality.

Is the suggested workaround the ONLY option? No. You can pester Samsung to see if they’ll fix their DLNA client to work with certain NAS devices like the My Cloud where their TV’s are having trouble streaming media. You can use a third party device like; a Raspberry pi loaded with Kodi, Amazon Fire TV loaded with Kodi, or a Roku all of which should support playing SRT files from the Twonky Media Server embedded in the My Cloud to your Samsung TV. You can load the video file + SRT file onto a USB drive and plug that into your Samsung TV. Or simply use the method above to burn in/embed the subtitles which isn’t necessarily the best workaround to your problem, but is a workaround.

Or buy a TV with a DLNA client that does support SRT subtitles…

I’d recommend an ‘external smart device’; one of those Bennor mentioned, or one of the hundreds of ‘android media boxes’ available from your favourite internet vendor…

[Bennor]

Or buy a TV with a DLNA client that does support SRT subtitles…

Yes that is another option. LOL.

Based on the number of complaints specific to Samsung TV’s both here on this support forum and in a general internet search, there is obviously something wrong with the DLNA client used on certain Samsung TV’s when used to access content on a variety manufacturer’s NAS drives.
