Subtitles - How do you set them up?
Posted: Sat Sep 01, 2018 8:19 am
It seems somewhat ludicrous that I'm having to ask this question, but repeated searches for setting up subtitles in UMS only ever lead to people having specific problems with them, I cannot seem to find a simple guide as to what you need to do and where to locate things.
Does anyone know of a straightforward guide which explains the basics?
For example, when I download TV shows they often have a "Subs" folder (whether there's anything in there is something beyond my control), does UMS automatically recognise this sub-folder? Do I need to place the subtitle file in the same location as the video file? Do I need to place it in a default subtitle folder that UMS has already created?
Beyond that, will UMS make subtitles available to the playback device if I just play the video file normally or, as some of the old threads suggest in here, do I have to choose a re-encoding option so the subtitles become embedded within what is being supplied?
