Sk85 subtitles.. did everything.. nothing work

[Yaniv Davidi]

Hi,

I just bought the LG sk85. 

When I try to play movie from my PC who is connected via hdmi to the TV, the subtitles on the LG player app works only in English. 

Everything else changing the subtitles- color or size but the subtitles language doesn't change.. only English. 

Of course the .srt is the exact name as the mkv name and the in the same folder... 

Please help.. tried everything..

Wait, you connect the PC via HDMI to the TV? Then your PC is creating the video and the subtitles, you should change it there.

If you are using a HDMI cable like this:

then you have to select the correct HDMI input on your LG TV.

Now you will see your computerscreen on the LG TV. Your computer will determine what you see on the TV.

Yes, it is one of the options. But there is another option - LG TV detect the movie /photos/music on the PC or you direct it to the folders and then you can see it on the TV. Like LG player. 

But has I said , the language settings on the sub doesn't work.. it doesn't change the language.. all the rest- size and color- it does...

I suppose you are using your pc as a media server. HDMI has nothing to with it.

If you are using the tv as i said the tv is probably detecting the pc as media server over wifi or LAN. Do you have the subtitles in the other language with the same name with 1 added to the file name,as the video in the same folder.

for instance if Video name is mymovie

subtitles should be named as mymovie 1.srt and mymovie 2.srt

You should see two subtitle tracks when you click on the sub button.Select anyone.

You may also try some other DLNA server, such as Plex or Serviio.

I can recommend Plex. There is a native LG app for the plex player and there are plex servers for all kind of systems.
