Video from PC to TV - subtitle problem

Hello,

I have a problem with the subtitles when I try to share a video wirelessly directly from my PC to my LG 55SM9010PLA TV. I am not talking about sharing the whole screen (it lags a bit), just the video itself. 

Sharing the video itself works well, but randomly the TV randomly does not recognise the subtitle, the sub option is not active in the TV menu, and there are no subtitles. It is in the same folder on my PC as the movie (.mkv), with the same name. In case of some movies it works, in case of others not, and I do not see the reasons why.

First I tought it is becouse the format of the subtitle needs to be ".sub", becouse it worked with one movie. So I have learnt how to convert properly ".srt" to ".sub" - but still no success.
Then I realised, in the case of another movie ".srt" worked on the TV, so I got really confused.

I see no logic behind it.  Could you help me, what is the key here, what am I missing?

Thank you!

I'm wrestling with a similar issue now, on my LG UM73 55 4K Smart UHD TV. I enable "Media Streaming" on my PC, and stream the content using the built-in Photos & Videos app to the TV. Works fine for video content.

I find that .mkv streams with integrated captions work fine. But I am unable to get the subtitle option enabled for .mp4 video. I have made sure that the subtitle file is in the same folder as the video file, has the same name as the video (of course with .srt file extension) and that there are no dots or spaces in the video or subtitle file names. The subtitle file is ANSI encoding. Still does not work.

Any hints on how subtitles can be made to work for .mp4 files?

      Problem simultaneously using hdmi soundbar and headphones in 3.5mm jack
      By hollean
      I've just purchased an OLED48 C44 LA which comes with a US 60T soundbar. I've connected the soundbar to the HDMI earc socket. Because my hearing isn't too good I'd like to also have some heaphones plugged into the 3.5mm socket so that both the hdmi earc and 3.5mm socket have sound simultaneously. I've been into accessablity menu and the listen together option doesn't appear to offer both hdmiearc and 3.5 mm simultaneously. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
      just to be clear, There is a setting which permits TV speakers plus wired external headphones. I just haven't found a setting which allows HDMI earc soundbar plus wired headphones.

      By BozaB
      Hello, 
      I need help, I bought LG Oled 65 C41 LA tv two days ago, tv is working mostly fine, except when I watch LG installed streaming platforms ( Netflix and MAX tested ) tv freezes and after about 10 seconds it restarts. It does not have any pattern as far as I know, sometimes I can watch 20 mins, last two times after six minutes it crashed and restarted automatically. Can someone please help me, how can I resolve this issue? Did someone had sam problems already? Is my tv broken or I can do something to fix it?
