I bought the WDTV media server a couple of weeks ago and I have problems getting my subtitles working. They are normal .srt files, which the box says it supports. The videofile is named EXAMPLE.avi and the .srt file EXAMPLE.srt . When I play a movie using the ‘Media Server’ option and I push the ‘Subtitle’ button on the remote it says ‘No subtitles’. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong here? So I’m wondering if anyone knows how I will be able to watch movies with srt subs on my WDTV media server, anyone got an idea?
I highly recommend MKVMerge, actually, I use MKVMerge GUI. Use it to add the .srt file into the MKV container. It does much more too. Get the whole MKVToolNix package. I find myself using the extract and merge programs a lot. http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
