Popcorn Time DLNA with no subtitles

[Samuel Gubert]

Hi guys,

 

I really need some help.

I have a LG smart TV with WebOS 3.0 updated.

 

I am trying stream a Popcorn Time video from my smartphone Android.

When I cast video direct to WebOs (using DLNA from Popcort and webos smartshare ) the subtitles are not shown. Neither the subtitles button on WebOs player turns enabled. The video play very well.

When I do exactly the same thing, but cast to ChromeCast, so the subtitles are loaded perfectly.

 

Sny idea?

Try to rename the name exactly the same way the extension used to be under or srt ... most common.Web OS knows sub and srt

Hi,

The subtitles file already named .srt.

In others players works fine, chromecast, vlc, bsplayer. Only streaming to webOs don't work.

between you device and tv one program work . Par exemple,between PC and TV LG using DLNA, work LG smartshare (external program,must be installed on PC).This know how to insert subtitles into video stream and work fine.You LG is good...you device same.You program between device and TV is bad.Know chromecast,mirchast but NOT KNOW  what you need.Change it.Succes

It could be a problem of de DNLA server you are using.

I have used the Plex DNLA server, but couldn't get the subtitles working.

After this I used Serviio and then it worked.

Now I am using the Plex App on the LG TV and a Plex server, for me that is the best solution. Subtitles working and a very nice interface.

You can check PlayOnTV app. It's on SamyGo forums (see latest post from 2017 with updated version). It now supports LG TVs and can play files with subtitles (.srt). Subtitles file has to have the same name with .srt extension.

I have had the same problem with my LG and SAMSUNG TV when connected over advanced wireless router (WiFi or wired), but when DLNA source and TV were connected via simple 4 port switch (wired) subtitles were working fluently (ASUS RT-AC66U).
