ReadyDLNA/Sony BluRay Player/SRT/MKV

[dinzi]

Hi there,

I've just acquired a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro 2 and today is the first day I've used it.

I've noticed when I play MKV files with SRT files in the same folder each with the exact same file name, my Sony BDP-S4100 Player does not recognize it.

Has anyone been able to get SRT files to work with MKV? I'd be really interested, thank you!

What version of RAIDiator are you running on the Pro 2?

Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.27

Are you using DLNA to access the file?

Have you tried muxing the SRT into the MKV?

[dinzi]

That's correct, I'm using DLNA from my Sony BDP-S4100 BluRay Player.

I haven't tried muxing both .SRT and .MKV together yet, but I think that might work but to save me doing this procedure every so often I was wondering if there is a solution for this.

[StephenB]

DLNA is the issue. The SRT in the same folder as the MKV only applies if the BDP-S4100 is accessing a hard drive directly.

I'm not sure if muxing the SRT into the MKV will fix it, but it is worth a try.

[dinzi]

Muxing works, will just have to make that a habbit I suppose.

From what you've told me seems like not many people have luck with this so should count myself lucky that it works.
