Mux external subtitles

Post by g646012 »

Hello, I have a SONY BRAVIA 40W705C TV, and unfortunately it cannot play external subtitles directly from DLNA(however when muxed beforehand using MKVMerge it has no problems).
I was wondering whether it is possible to just mux external subtitle into mkv container on the go, that is without transcoding. I tried doing that with the tsmuxer, but the tv fails to play the file (just black screen); I have attached the log of that attempt. Thanks in advance

I see that your TV is not properly recognized so try to replace the Sony-BraviaW.conf with the file I provided.

Hi valib, thanks for the provided conf file. TV now does transcode and show subtitles.
However, all the options which include subtitles transcode only, and unfortunately ruin the quality of the image. tsMuxeR still displays black screen though.
I searched through the Internet and didn't really find any information related to muxing subtitles in on the go. I am wondering if it is even possible(right now).
