First, does your TV support external .srt subtitles? If yes, then in the config file, find the line at the very end that currently reads:

Code: Select all

# SupportedExternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP
and remove the # so it reads:

Code: Select all

SupportedExternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP

I know as good as nothing about Philips TV's (I had some from the 70's, but that's hardly relevant), but neither UPnP AV nor DLNA has any subtitles support. As a result, there is no standard way to handle this. Panasonic has made one non-standard way and Samsung has made another. As far as I know, those two are the only ways to stream subtitles. UMS use both methods, but unless Philips has implemented one of these non-standard ways to handle it, chances are that there simply is no way to transfer subtitles to your TV.
