[Solved] Some subtitles work, others not
Hi,
I've recently started using UMS. I managed to get subtitles enabled by default by using this entry in the Audio/subtitles language priority: eng,eng;*,eng;*,swe,und
Everything was working fine until all of a sudden no subtitles showed up. I figured it probably wasn't able to detect it for some reason so I tried changing the entry.
I tried *,eng;*,swe;*,und and I tried *,* and also completely blank. Nothing worked. Just to make sure I even tried moving the TV next to my router. Seemed unlikely
but perhaps it could be a bad WiFi connection, like what caused the missing sound issue I had at the beginning. Made no difference though.
Then I decided to try one of the files I knew the subtitles worked on before and what do you know, it still worked. It actually worked with all the different entries I've
listed above. I find this behavior really weird. If the subtitle works when playing on my computer without me touching anything, shouldn't it work when the field is blank or set
to *,* then?
Since then I've tested several episodes of TV shows and most of them don't display the subtitles. Unfortunately I couldn't play them when UMS was in trace mode.
Very few showed up on my TV to select for some reason.
Best regards,
Snurte

Re: Some subtitles work, others not
You can mark this one as solved. I tried searching for existing solutions, but never considered there might be a case for my exact model of TV.
I applied the given solution in this thread No subtitles on Samsung UE40J5515 (J5500/Tizen) and it fixed it for me as well.

Great!
We still need to find out how to transcode videos though ( converting the formats that are not natively supported by the TV )
Let us know if you make any findings.
