Thank you very much, that indeed did the trick

For some reason I can't update to the new version that was released today. It tells me an update is available but I need to run UMS as an administrator in order to be able to update.
I've double-checked, the account I'm logged into for windows 8.1 has administrator rights.

What am I missing?

As soon as I remove SubRip from the SupportedExternalSubtitlesFormats, the name of the file displayed changes (extension on the HT-J5500 goes from StreamingSub to External Sub) and the file simply stops playing after a few seconds.
Tried changing the UseClosedCaption on/off, but that had no effect ...

You could transcode them so that UMS renders the subtitles in, but then there are the normal trascoding issues with missing fast forward etc.
I may be able to live without fast forward... so how would I transcode it so UMS renders the subs in?

Will try Samsung's own DLNA server at a later time ...

Another update:
*tried every single combination of on/off for the ChunkedTransfer, Subtitleheader, Charmap and UseClosedCaption, no luck.
*tried changing the subtitle file to UTF-8, UTF-8 without BOM, even tried changing the extension from .srt to .txt, nothing.
*tried changing the bottom margin for ...

Before I forget, thanks for the help so far, Nadahar.

I'm not sure if I've actually helped this far :?

I have no renderer to test this on, and I'm not very familiar with this part of the code, so I'm afraid I don't have much to add here. From what I can see from the log it does seem like UMS ...

Not sure what would be the differnce, but have your tried to downlad and force this config: http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4075
Aye, as I noted in 2 previous posts, I've got that config. Even tried fiddling around with it a bit, which means I managed to get it to ...

Is it a 2015 model?

I don't have HT-J500, but i have a 2015 model TV, and got subs working by adding/chaning this is my config
Have you tried;
UseClosedCaption = true

and
Supported = f:avi|mkv m:video/x-matroska

Not sure it will work ...

What about the two instances issue? Have you installed it as a service?

Remember to restart UMS when you make configuration changes in the renderer profiles.

I think I probably just hit the restart too early, or clicked the close window instead of closing UMS. After so many hours I'm getting ...

From the config I found in http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4075 I changed the UserAgentSearch to = J5500 and the UpnpDetailsSearch to = J5500, so now it does recognize the device.
Sadly still no subs.
Tried removing the # from in front of #ChunkedTransfer = true and ...
