Audio language and external subtitles on WebOS

[ciponne]

Hi all!

 

 

I have a LG 42LB630V, with the latest firmware installed.

 

I want to know if it is possible to change the audio language, for a mkv file that has more than an audio language and how to add external subtitles. Those embeded in mkv files are running ok.

 

Thank you, 

Cipria

Hi,

I have 42LB607V and I'm using Twonky Media server (version 7.2.8) on my NAS. After proper setting of Twonky TV displays external subtitles (srt same name as movie). 

I think that following work only in Twonky version 7 and higher.

 

Try these settings:

 

- In Twonky go to Settings - Sharing - Media Recievers. There is a list of all devices on same net TV,PC

- Change "Media Reciever Type" on the line with IP of the TV to "LG DLNA DMR".

- Restart Twonky and open SmartShare app on your TV. Subtitles should load automaticly upon playing video.

 

Can't switch audio even though it works on my LG Blu-ray player that uses old LG interface.

Hi my setup is a LG 65UB9500 Smart TV and a WD My Cloud 4TB for storing movies (mp4 and mkv with srt subtitles). Files are downloaded with Macbook Pro and then moved to My Cloud  Movies-->NameOfMovie subfolder.  I realized sometimes when I browse from Smart Share app (from TV) and play the movie, SRT subtitles are NOT recognized even if they are in the same subfolder and it has the same name of the mp4 or mkv file. After many tries changing special characters of filename like dots, dashes, etc. nothing happened BUT then luckily I found a solution which always works for me.

 

When subtitles are not recognized (SUB icon grayed out in Smart Share Player) I stop the movie, browse one folder back and from my Mac I simply rename the folder where the movie and subtitles are contained ( just renaming for example from Movie.2014.x264 to Movie2014.x264 .......note first dot removed ) then browsing again from Smart Share app (from TV) (may take a couples times to browse back and forward to refresh folders names) when the new name of the folder is shown I select the folder and then select the movie again and now SUB icon is enabled and subtitles are shown correctly.

 

Note that I If rename the folder again to its original name (from Movie2014.x264..... to Movie.2014.x264 (adding the first dot again) , subtitles keep working correctly.

 

By the way one thing I couldn't do is select different audio tracks from files with multiple audio (language) tracks (AUDIO icon is disabled in Smart Share Player). I guess is because Smart Share is accessing files using DLNA.

 

The only solution I found quick and simple is removing unused audio tracks from file (mkv) with MVKToolNix for MAC.

 

I Hope this solution works for somebody with same setup or even with different setup

Kodi works airplay plus subtitles. Just in the same folder. MKV with subtitles included dont run over KODI. I have a WebOS TV and use smartshare.

Hello there. I have a problem: external subtitles do not work through minidlna (aka ReadyMedia) server (commonly used on routers). Some people say that it may be connected with the headers of the request from LGTV to DLNA (the last raises an exception). Can this issues be fixed. Are there any workarounds (except merging subtitles into mkv container)?

Thanks.

5. "Serviio":

Has all the options, including hardsubs (burned-in subs). Both didn't work.

 

I tried several different servers including Plex but Serviio was the only one working all the time. But you really need to rename the subtitle file to exactly the same name as the movie.

The only thing bugging me is the fact that Serviio can not generate high quality images for the on screen menu.

You can use Avdshare Video Converter to Add subtitles, like SRT, ASS, SUB, SSA, IDX to MKV for playing on various MKV devices.

Go to settings then accesibility and there turn on subtitles (This on the smart tv).  Apply restart your computer and voila!

Hope it helps

Change any filename (.mp4 also)  to 1.mkv and subtitles name to 1.srt and it will work. Thank me later
