Sinhala Subtitles not showing/working.

[Kasun Ekanayake]

I’m an owner of OLED55C8PJA. It’s an OLED SMART THINQ TV. I have spent lots of money in this. Anyway, I can’t see Sinhala Subtitles whenever I’m watching movies using this TV. But it supports Sinhala language. It even has menu language and keyboard language in “Sinhala”. But Srt Subtitle files that has Sinhala language cannot see.I have tried to set to encoding to UTF-8 also. But no luck!

hope you will know solution for me.

Thanks

[PeterV]

Does it work with other language subtitles ?

Maybe the player cannot handle the Sinhala language.

You could try to use something else. What I do is use a Plex server on my computer and use the Plex app on the LG TV. This works great.

 

Good luck.

Same here. i brought 4k smart tv and looks like it's video player doesn't support sinhala language. please fix this in next update. at least add VLC, MX or Pot player that shows sinhala sub to content store.

[Anil Weerasooriya]

yahh.. it is strange.. i have UM7300PTA 4K tv, it does show sinhala fonts.. in the user agreement etc... however does not shw sinhal subtitle... when i was asking with Abans (LG locals service provider) people they said it should work... but sadly not...

i guess we should have representation from Abans here to see what problems are facing by the SL people...

Hey guys! I have found a solution for this. Install Plex Player on LG app store. And use Plex server on Your Windows PC. Currently there is no way to play via usb to show Sinhala subtitles as I think. Rename your srt file as example - example.sin.srt.  Then you are good to go!

[Anil Weerasooriya]

yahh with PLEX it works... but wonder how.. i have serviio also in my DLNA server.. that does not get sinhala subs from the same folder but PLEX does..

 

anyway lets hope Abans will add Sinhala in the next WebOS update.. mind you Tamil is already  there...

[Kasun Ekanayake]

@PeterV yes of course.

[Kasun Ekanayake]

@Anil Weerasooriya it’s not upto Abans. It’s a work of Software developers of WebOS. Especially Player itself. 

[Kasun Ekanayake]

@PeterV Thank you and it works on Plex.

[malinda perera]

Please update the WebOS immediately. Big problem for people who use Sinhala language. So a bad image in made about LG TV

[Sudheera Kasun]

Please update the default player or add third party player to show sinhala subtitle 

[charith weerasinghe]

I dont know why Web os team  not even replying for this issue.very disappointing add sinhala language to webos update.is it that hard to do that?

[charith weerasinghe]

Its shame that they dont have some languages in Web os, Its supported in everywhere and any device.Even Lg mobiles support. Pls try to improve

[daminda jayasekera]

I replied in this thread more than year ago. But still there is no any perfect solution. 

[Muditha Shyamal]

No, you setup a plex server, this can be your day to day computer. After this you can stream movies from your computer to the plex app on your LG TV, More info on  plex website
