Subtitle support
I just bought the ReadyNas Duo, especially to share media to my Samsung B650 flat TV.
Unfortunately when playing movies on the TV through the built-in DLNA feature, like Xvid, DivX or MKV, the subtitles files (*.srt) are not shown on my TV.
Is streaming of seperate subtitle files supported by ReadyDLNA?
I hope this is or will be supported.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Conditions:
- I use ReadyDLNA 0.15 on my ReadyNas Duo.
- The subtitle files have the same name (before the extension) as the movie files (i.e. "movie.avi" and "movie.srt").
- The subtitles are shown properly when playing the movie directly on my PC with subtitle supported players (like BSPlayer).
- I installed Samsung PC Share Manager 1.5 on my PC. This is used as media DLNA server for the Samsung TV. When using this, all subtitle files are correctly streamed to my TV.

Uh, surely you mean the 280KB large file. :) What model and region is your Sony BDP? We actually advertise the file as both MKV and an MPEG. The Sony is choosing the MPEG resource. If you could stop minidlna and start it with the -d option, then PM me the output, that might be interesting.- I have the same problem here.
Is there any way to force the DLNA server not to advertise MKV file as MPEG?
