The LG Media Player is quite basic in its handling of subtitles
often displaying control data text such as <font color="#ffff00ff"> instead of acting on it

I deal with this by running the file through Subtitle Edit on my PC before
plugging  the hdd into the TV.  It can handle embedded and external subtitles

At the same time I can correct some typical spelling mistake like ancl instead of and
The AI programmes that generate the subtitle leave quite a bit to be desired

I used to watch like that with hdd plugged, now I use LG smart share. The LG player on my TV is not so simple. There is choices for color, size, encodings, external and internal subs, synchronization,  but opaque box is what is missing. When there are bright scenes you can't read the subs properly. I think they could add choice for transparency of the opaque box.

And also .ass tags in .srt files for positions are not handled, instead we see the tags like this {an/8} and the three dpts (...) are on top instead of bottom of the line.

Please add outline, outline size and outline color (black and white). And add black font as well.

I have a LGC2 TV. I can barely see the subtitles even though I had changed the subtitle color.

Please add this asap. Thanks!

If you are plugging a USB directly into to TV. the internal Media Player ignores all colour information
However on my Nano90 TV subtitles are displayed correctly and readably


Otherwise you may need to buy an external Android box to play the videos then
the full formatting options will be available

      IPTV Smarters subtitles
      By MURAD
      Hello , There is no setting to select subtitles for series and movies, I tried clicking on the colors on the remote, but nothing worked, I poked around in settings and found nothing. I sent several emails to the company, but no response was received. I remember that there was an option in the previous version, who has the same problem and what can be done?

      Show more than 8 subtitles
      By Marcelo
      I'm watching a movie (mkv) that has 10 built-in link hidden, please login to view, but webOs only shows 8 options and the one I want to select is the ninth option. My TV is LG 55 OLED B6. Is there a way to make this selection?

      Subtitles on SVTPlay.se
      By hans peter
      How do you activate subtitles on SVT Play on a LG 50NANO756PR? Or have I to find a timeline first? How do I handle this?

      Improvement request - External subtitles
      By neverskilltm
      This improvement is related to external subtitles.
      1. I can only see 7-8 external subtitles in the list, while the rest are not visible, although they are visible on the PC. It would be helpful if you could add a scroll bar and show the entire list of available subtitles instead of only the first 8 that are alphabetically sorted.
      2. All listed subtitles are named numerically [1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8.]. I request that the label for each specific language be shown instead, such as:
      - Eng, Fra, Ger, Bos, Ita,...
      or better yet:
      - English, French, German, Bosnian, Italian, etc.

      I have an LG TV model UJ6307 with webOS 06.10.50., if this information is necessary at all.
