DVD subtitles do not show, "dlna.getMediaSubtitle() is null" in trace log

Post by geryde »

UMS looks great from comparison to other media servers, but when I play a DVD file (ripped to the PC's hard drive) via UMS to the TV, the subtitles do not show - a key feature for me.
I searched already this forum and tried already for quite some time, but with no result. Here the key points what I tried based on forum postings:
In the relevant renderer config file (Samsung-NotCD.conf) I changed subtitle formats according to what I found in the TV manual:
  • SupportedExternalSubtitlesFormats = ASS,MICRODVD,SAMI,SUBRIP,TEXT
  • SupportedInternalSubtitlesFormats = ASS,SUBRIP
In UMS transcoding settings I changed
  • audio/subtitles language priority changed from "eng,off;*,eng;*,und" to "eng,*;*,und"
  • for Video files engines I moved MEncoder to the top (AviSynth/MEncoder and AviSynth/FFmpeg are disabled; red icon in front)
I attach the trace log. UMS does recognize the subtitles in the DVD file: log has entries like "Subtitle ID: 189-33 Format: "RLE""
I tried to find s.th. in the log. Here what look like key lines to me:

Code: Select all

HEAD /get/110/VTS_01_2.VOB_transcoded_to.mpg HTTP/1.0	
… 
TRACE 2018-10-30 16:18:40.791 [HTTPv2 Request Worker 8] net.pms.network.RequestV2 Did not send subtitle headers because dlna.getMediaSubtitle() is null
…
INFO  2018-10-30 16:18:40.794 [StartPlaying Event] net.pms.dlna.DLNAResource Started playing VTS_01_2.VOB on your [TV]Samsung LED22
But what is needed to have the DVD subtitles on the TV screen?
Would appreciate when someone can check this …
