Dear friends,

Hi everyone !!   I need to get your help in order to enable the subtitles on the DNS-323.  My HDTV, a Samsung model UN46C7000, can't display any subtitles.   The subtitles are .SRT format, each subtitle has the same name of each movie.

Samsung HDTV is DLNA compliant.  In fact, I can see the subtitles with Samsung PC Share Manager (Windows version), but I don't want to have other Media Server.

I'd like to enable the subtitles with the embedded Media Server on the DNS-323, with TwonkyServer or with Mediatomb.  Any of them that can really work.

I don't worry about the music because I have Firefly running on the DNS-323.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards!

I resolved my issue.  I installed "TVMOBiLi" in my PC.

Hi, can you please elaborate on your solution? I have the same problem and I am looking for instructions on what to do. What is TVMOBiLi and where can I find it?

Hi McPillager,

I tested some Media Server with my TV:


- TVMobili = It can be downloaded from www.tvmobili.com.  It is very simple to use and easy to install. Also, it is lightweight.   It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

- Serviio = It can be downloaded from www.serviio.org   Like TVMobili, it is simple and easy to use.  You must select "Samsung C-Series" from the profiles sections in order to display the subtitles in your TV. It can't automatic select the TV.      It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux as well.

- Samsung PC Share Manager =  it can be downloaded from Samsung's website.  However, it required to much CPU processing and the refresh process takes a lot of time.  Only for Windows.


There are more Media Server in the market, like Twonky*, Wild Media Server, and Mezzmo, but you have to pay for them.


* TwonkyMedia Server is excellent Media Server, but It DO NOT support external subtitles. According to their Development Team, UPnP & DLNA don't have any specification about subtitles.  That's funny!!!  All the other Media Servers that I listed support external subtitles!  It's not about specifications, it's about transcoding!!  


Regards!
