hi,
i have a loewe tv that don't support any transcode
can i enable mkv subtitles embedded without transcode ?
thanks very much

To enable streaming video with embedded subtitles without transcoding needs to make the .conf file for your TV to be correctly recognized. Then line with supported subs format like should be added to that .conf file otherwise UMS transcode all videos to show subs. Read the DefaultRenderer.conf for other options and follow http://www.universalmediaserver.com/faq ... erSupport1 intructions how to make the .conf

but with this configuration i don't see the subtitle
can you help me ?
thanks very much

The basic question is if your TV supports embedded subtitles for video streamed via DLNA. My Panasonic TV works for streamed videos in the same way like for videos from USB. About Loewe I don't know anything.

if i see mkv on usb pen i see the subtitles but with dlna i cannot see them
i ask to loewe support but dont receive any answer,
so i ask you if my setting is true or false or i missed something
thanks very much

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody manage to solve this problem.
When I am streaming 4K HDR movies to my Samsung Q6F smart TV, I have to use the "no transcoding" options from the transcode folder, if not the video won't play. Unfortunately, this way the subtitles don't work (external and internal). I checked the TV's .conf file and the subtitle entries are there.

# Supported subtitles formats:
SupportedExternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP,ASS,TEXT,MICRODVD,WEBVTT,SAMI
SupportedInternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP,ASS,TEXT,MICRODVD,WEBVTT,SAMI

This is happening only when streaming 4K videos. When playing the same video from a USB stick, the subtitles work as normal (external and internal).

Any help is appreciated.
I am running the latest version of UMS and it is a great application.

Thanks.

@micronemo the best way would be to follow the instruction written in red above and send the log. It could be that your Loewe TV doesn't support external subtitles via DLNA and it works only from USB. There are only a few manufacturers like Samsung, Panasonic etc. who made a subtitles support via DLNA in their own way because subtitles support isn't the official part of the DLNA protocol.

EDIT: the same instruction should follow @Henk13

Thanks for the reply.
I attached the debug file as per instructions. I have a Samsung TV series Q6F (2017) and it is playing subtitles over DNLA.

I could not see the Loewe TV in your log. Was it connected or not when you made the log? And also your loewe.conf is not loaded in the UMS.

I have a Samsung 6 series TV - Q6F (2017) , I do not have a Loewe TV.
The files for the TV are [TV]Samsung6Series-c807fd.conf and Samsung-CD.conf

Thanks.
