Hey guys! I am having an issue trying to play any file that is mkv and has embedded subtitles. No matter what I do, when I go to the folder on my PS4 it says "No playable media" and it cannot find any of the files. I have the latest version and have tried playing with the settings to not avail.
It will still find some mkv files that have no embedded subtitles. I don't need the subtitles, I just want to be able to play the files.

the supplied config file for the PS4 does not include settings for subtitles in the latest release for some reason. try adding this to the end
Code: Select all
# Supported subtitles formats:
SupportedExternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP
SupportedInternalSubtitlesFormats = ASS,SUBRIP
I've attached the config file i use for the Ps4 if yo u want to try it.

The PS4 does not really support .ass subtitles. It will display them as simple text, ignoring all formatting and position codes. So if there is a lot of text on screen, you will get a mess of text at the bottom. The hard work of the subbers will be lost. The PS4 supports .srt subtitles as CC text.
