Universal Media Server | Forum

Hi,

I would like to check if what I am doing will work. I can connect my UMS to the LG TV without problems. But my PC is very old and all the mpeg files that are created with the external srt subtitles are poor quality. I wanted to know if I could use the subtitles with the [No Encoding] file because the TV supports this native format (mkv) with external srt subtitles. But, whenever I try to run this file there are no subtitles.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Christopher.

Look, I just wanted to know if it was possible to view the subtitles with the [No Encoding] file. I didn't send the log file because I didn't think it was necessary to answer my simple question. If it is necessary, please let me know. I tried checking the forums to see if anyone else had this question, but I didn't find anything. Is there really no one who knows if I can use subtitles with this file? Is it a file coding issue? I'll try changing to UTF-8 and see if that sorts it out.

Please let me know if there is no way to do this.

Thanks,

Christopher.

Post debug log in TRACE mode (zipped via UMS GUI).
We will see there how your TV is detected and its configuration. In renderer conf you can define external and/or internal subtitle support so if your TV supports it and renderer confs will be correctly set, file should be streamed as is including subs, without transcoding.

Thanks ExSport, I've uploaded the trace files in the ums_dbg.zip file. Please let me know if you need me to send anything else.

You can try to add to your TV config file the or better to follow the http://www.universalmediaserver.com/faq ... erSupport1 and make a new .conf file. For possible options read the DefaultRenderer.conf

EDIT: and please use the latest UMS version. The version 5.0.1 was not so good.

Thanks @valib, I totally missed Chrispy5 reply.
