Question

Hello.

I have a problem and whatever I do, the TV can't show subtitles unless they are embedded in the movie.

I have movies on my PC, connected to the same network as the TV.

The movies folder is shared and also I enabled streaming, so I can watch the movies from any device.

I go to Photos & Videos (or I choose the PC stream directly from inputs menu), I go to the movie folder.

When embedded subtitles everything is OK, but if subtitles are on .sub or .srt file the TV seem to ignore them.

I open the TV options go to Accessibility turned the subtitles on, restarted the TV and PC, start the movie again and NOTHING the subtitle option is grayed!

I even tried different character encoding for example ANSI or UTF-8 and NOTHING again!!!

 

The subtitles are on the same folder, with exactly the same name - example:

Name of movie file "Tom Clancys The Division Agent Origins.mkv"

Name of subtitle file "Tom Clancys The Division Agent Origins.srt" (even if I change it to .sub)

 

Please LG dev team, FIX THIS crap, or I (and many others that want damned subtitles) will never buy your TVs again...

PS: I  have tried dozen of ways to watch the movie, but no success with subtitles.

The only way to have subtitles is to embed them with program or to use HDMI cable and play the movie from the PC.

 

THIS IS RIDICULOUS, IT'S 2019 FFS :@ I AM SO PISSED!!!

You should try some other DLNA server. For example, Plex, Serviio... I am using Plex server on my NAS, and XPlay application on TV. With this combination I can use subtitles in different languages if I name files as follows:
Movie.mp4
Movie.en.srt
Movie.de.srt

Strange, I have played movies from a USB stick in the TV with subtitles without problems. Also from an attached harddisk.

Maybe it works differently when using a shared disc.

The LG dev team is not on this forum. This is a user to user forum (like it says on the top of the page).

      Hello , There is no setting to select subtitles for series and movies, I tried clicking on the colors on the remote, but nothing worked, I poked around in settings and found nothing. I sent several emails to the company, but no response was received. I remember that there was an option in the previous version, who has the same problem and what can be done?

      Silly question by me, but it seems that I can't find subtitle button on LG ThinQ app on my mobile phone? Anyone knows if we can select subtitles through the LG ThinQ app?

      On my LG 60SJ850T, Watching Horizon from AppleTV streaming service. Western with some scenes with Apache language being spoken. No subtitles appearing. When CC is on, see “foreign language being spoken”. When viewed on iPhone, there are subtitles. Have tried same movie using chrome cast TV, and casting from iPhone to Apple TV device. Never get subtitles. Verified subtitles work when I stream to same chromecast TV connected to a different TV. 
       
      reset LG TV to factory settings after trying all available CC and subtitle settings on TV. Still no subtitles.

      Hi all,

      I'm Danny and have a problem with my LG OLED65C8;

      since a few months when playing movies, either from my Syno NAS or just plain USB, subtitles are being displayed double (over or above eachother) or are displayed for sometimes minutes after the sentence's been spoken. The videofiles haven't got any hardcoded subs but either subs included in the mkv container or as separate srt of ssa file. Disabling subs removes the display of subs, enabling subs results in double or persistent subs.

      Subtitles have been disabled in the accessability menu, factory reset did not help.

      I searched but as far as I can see this problem has not been discussed yet, also googled and never came across this problem. Perhaps someone here can help?

      Kind regards, Danny
      ----------------
      SOLUTION, for me at least:

      I used ColorControl to reboot the TV. It's weird that a factory reset did not work but a simple reboot did.
