ReadyNAS 51600 & Movie Subtitles
Looking at purchasing a ReadyNAS 51600. Would like to confirm if this unit and the latest Firmware can display subtitles muxed into .MKV files correctly? My Sony Blu-Ray can handle, so I need to know if this ReadyNAS can deliver.
Can it handle Subtitle Files placed in the same Folder as the movie?
Thank you
I did go foward with getting this unit. The Firmware DLNA does support embedded Subtitles in .MKV movies very nicely, and does not require Plex to see subtitles.
Thanks for your reply!

You may find this thread helpful (though it is for an older NAS running an older OS): https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyDLNA-Sony-BluRay-Player-SRT-MKV/td-p/941393
You could use Plex Media Server rather than ReadyDLNA if you want.
Thanks. The thread you refer is circa 2014 for another NAS unit. How would one know that muxing subtitles into .MKV files still works in 2016 on the ReadyNAS 516 Firmware?
Have read that Plex has this capability in its Settings, but would prefer something Native as opposed to Add on. Simpler is usually better.
Thanks

Although I haven't tried this (I use SMB directly with my media players), I don't think Netgear would have removed the feature. Hopefully someone who uses this particular feature will chime in.
If you are interested in streaming to your mobile devices (esp. over the internet) you will end up with plex anyway - it's real-time transcoding feature is pretty important there (and not available in ReadyDLNA).
