External subtitles not working playing from local network. LG C9

Hello friends,

I have setup a home network in Windows 10, I think it uses DLNA. I can play all the files from the computer or the USB stick in the router with no issue but the external subtitles (correctly named) are not working in my 65C9, only internal ones. 

If I access the same files in the network from a computer, there is no problem and subtitles are shown, it's only the TV not displaying them.

Can someone help in how to make external subs work when played from a local network or what to check?

 

Thanks

NOTE: some users have founf KODI can work like that for some TV's, another user fiound SERVIIO worked well

"There are two versions for this:

The first one is that the TV supports the playing of the subtitles, in which case it will request the subtitles from the DLNA and display it (usually, there's a button on a tv remote to turn on the subtitles explicitly - on Sony there's a button with four dots inside the square (....) that turns on the subtitles). Usually, the subtitles have to be in the same folder where the video is, and with the exact same title. But, not all subtitle formats are usually supported (e.g. srt, etc), and this varies from vendor to vendor.

The other option is for the DLNA to send the subtitles along inside the video image. For this, you need transcoding. Transcoding is usually used when the TV doesn't have support for the source video format and the DLNA transcodes it to a format TV can play, but in the case of subtitles, the DLNA has to transcode just so it can insert the subtitles into the movie image. Some DLNA servers usually have an option to 'always transcode when subtitles found'."

      IPTV Smarters subtitles
      By MURAD
      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?

      LG Channels not working. Location issue.
      By jcol5786
      Hello,
      A few years ago I bought a 43" LG Model 43UK6200PUA, manufactured in 2018. I'm from Canada but I purchased this TV in the US. It was a store demo unit on for a great price. I took it home to Canada, set the location to Canada and setup up in our bedroom.  It has been working fine with our Fiber TV service as well as Netflix, Amazon etc. We also to have a 60" LG TV in the living room which was purchased in Canada. This TV is similar in age to the one in the bedroom. Recently I started watching the LG channels on the living room  TV. I hadn't really paid much attention to them before but now I enjoy them. My problem is that the LG channels do not work on the bedroom TV. I suspect because it was purchased in the US but located in Canada. With the location set to Canada the LG channel guide populates and shows what's on however when I select a program I get the following message.
      LG Channels can't be serviced if a user changes 'LG Service Country' from Settings. In order to use LG Channels service, please restore 'LG Service Country' to its condition of original purchase
      So if I change the location to the US I get this message.
      Sorry, LG Channels is not available in your location. Please set your location to your current location in the settings. If you are in the service area, please visit www.lgappstv.com for help.
      As you can see the messages sort of contradict each other also the website mentioned www.lgappstv.com is not working. I suspect that the location for this TV is set to the US at some deeper level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Sparking Positive Change Within Local Communities
      By News Reporter
      LG’s Better Life for All vision encompasses every aspect of life, emphasizing sustainable living and raising educational standards for children in rural areas. In line with this commitment, LG offices around the world actively participate in local initiatives aimed at improving the lives of the people and communities they engage with daily.

      To commemorate World Cleanup Day (September 20) and International Coastal Cleanup Day (September 21), LG Singapore organized its first-ever beach cleanup event at East Coast Park in conjunction with local green social enterprise

      As part of the brand’s sustainability efforts, this initiative sought to highlight the importance of taking action against Singapore’s growing marine plastic pollution problem while promoting the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – when dealing with used packaging.

      By combining the company’s eco-conscious innovations with a community-driven effort, LG Singapore hopes this initiative will help foster a culture of environmental consciousness within consumers.
      With the much-appreciated help of Green Nudge, over 100 LG Singapore employees collected 293 kilograms of trash – mainly plastic packaging, bottles and Styrofoam – from three sites across Singapore’s eastern coastline, which was then carefully processed for proper disposal.

      To foster camaraderie among employees, LG Singapore organized eager volunteers into teams and promised an award to the group that collected the most trash. The winning team, which collected a total of 104 kilograms of trash in just one hour, received a small token of appreciation from Gerald Chun, managing director of LG Singapore.

      The success of the beach cleanup highlights LG’s dedication to environmental stewardship and community involvement, with the revitalized beach serving as a powerful reminder of the impact collective action can have. LG Singapore looks forward to promoting sustainability in more exciting ways and inspiring others to join its mission to preserve nature.

      Moving on to another vibrant part of Asia, in the spirit of Life’s Good, LG Taiwan hosted an event in September to inject positive change into the local community. Since 2009, LG Taiwan has been deeply committed to improving the standards of education in the nation’s rural areas, working alongside third-party organizations and public welfare institutions to inspire warmth and hope. This long-standing dedication was recently demonstrated through a collaboration with the Feng Chia University School of Architecture.

      This involved LG Taiwan assisting Feng Chia University’s Book Hut Project to create an impactful after-school learning space for children living in the countryside. First, LG donated smart home appliances to meet their daily needs, with the local children taking an immediate liking to the LG TV’s advanced voice control features and its sheer size. LG also donated two washing machines that make everyday laundry easy and convenient, requiring only the press of the power and start buttons to operate.

      Under the leadership of Jeong Yeon-kwan, managing director of LG Taiwan, a team of 23 LG employees joined student volunteers from Feng Chia University in Hualien to transform a building into an inspirational learning environment with a new lick of paint and various decorations.

      In addition to getting hands-on in Hualien, LG Taiwan donated home appliances to the rural Nantou and Taitung regions to spread the power of education. Managing director Jeong showed teachers and children how each appliance works to ensure they received the full benefits. And to add a personal touch to their visit, LG volunteers prepared Korean snack packs for the children and student volunteers.

      To support the transformation of its local community, LG East Africa collaborated with Korea Food for the Hungry International (KFHI) to complete two local projects. These initiatives – in Kajiado County and Nairobi’s Huruma slums – were the winning entries of the 2024 LG Ambassador Challenge. Each received KES 1 million in funding to make an impact on local communities.

      As a part of the first initiative in Kajiado County, LG East Africa took part in transforming Intinyika Primary School. The school, which has 180 students, was equipped with essential infrastructure, including a solar power system, water storage facilities and computers. These upgrades address critical needs, such as electricity, water and educational resources, significantly improving the learning environment for local students. LG is hopeful that the new equipment will benefit and improve the lives of local students, with the new computers enabling them to learn more about digital technologies in a more comfortable learning environment.

      In Nairobi’s Huruma slums, LG East Africa provided aid to the Furaha Community Foundation to improve their physiotherapy center, which treats more than 30 children with disabilities. With the funds from the LG Ambassador Challenge, the center acquired essential equipment, including gym tools, to provide effective care and treatment.

      Now in its fourth year, the LG Ambassador Challenge is part of LG East Africa’s social responsibility initiatives. The program aims to recognize and support groups that actively address pressing challenges within their communities. The 2024 edition saw 53 applications, with the winning projects standing out for their potential to create lasting change. To ensure the sustainability of these projects, KFHI will continue to provide customized monitoring and support. This includes regular visits, communication and oversight to maximize the impact and facilitate meaningful change within the communities.
      LG will continue to arrange various activities around the globe to spread its Life’s Good brand promise. To learn more about LG’s local initiatives around the world, visit .

      LG Accelerates 5G Private Network Business Expansion
      By News Reporter
      First in the 5G Private Network Industry to Receive Domestic Network
      Equipment Certification from Korea Association of Network Industries

      SEOUL, Sep. 26, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is stepping up its presence in the 5G private network market, a key infrastructure for future industries. The company has recently achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first in 5G private network industry to receive the “Domestic Network Equipment Certification” from the Korea Association of Network Industries for its self-developed 5G private network solution.
      The “Domestic Network Equipment Certification” is awarded to products that are developed and manufactured in South Korea, a key credential for supplying to public institutions. This certification marks LG’s official recognition for internalizing core 5G private network technologies.
      A 5G private network is a customized network deployed in specific areas like factories and buildings, offering high-speed data transmission and exceptional stability. It serves as a vital foundation for innovations such as digital and AI transformation (DX/AX) and smart factory operations.
      LG’s certified 5G private network solution leverages advanced software to handle network functions typically managed by traditional 5G equipment like Radio Access Network (RAN) and 5G Core. This software-based approach allows for faster data processing and improved stability, with the added benefit of enabling upgrades without hardware replacement, significantly lowering operational costs.
      Harnessing its strong software capabilities, LG’s solution delivers a customized 5G private network tailored to meet diverse client needs and installation environments. For instance, it can create secure, isolated networks for clients with high-security requirements or integrate external cloud services for companies that require frequent collaboration with external partners.
      In addition to network setup, LG’s solution offers a device control platform for seamless management of connected devices. This includes LG’s own products, such as robots and digital signage, as well as clients’ existing equipment like CCTV and smart safety devices, all integrated via the 5G private network.
      With the momentum from this domestic certification, LG plans to actively pursue both enterprise-focused and public 5G private network initiatives, targeting sectors like smart factories and more.
      Recognizing the immense potential of the 5G private network market, LG has committed significant resources to technology development. The company holds around 30,000 telecommunications patents, including many related to 5G, ranking it among the world’s top innovators. Last year, LG formally added “facilities-based telecommunications business” to its portfolio, positioning itself for full-scale commercialization of its 5G solutions.
      LG also brings extensive real-world experience, having tested its 5G private network solution at various reference sites, including its Tennessee factory, a smart factory in Chungbuk, a logistics center in Incheon and a university hospital in Seoul.
      The global 5G private network market is expected to grow rapidly, from approximately USD 2 billion in 2023 to around USD 11.8 billion by 2028, with a projected annual growth rate exceeding 40 percent, according to market research firm MarketsandMarkets.
      “We will continue to provide customized 5G private network solutions for clients who need fast, stable networks, leveraging our outstanding 5G technology and operational expertise, accumulated in various sectors such as factories, logistics centers and hospitals,” said Lee Jun-sung, vice president and head of LG’s Private Network Business Development Department.
