Hello!

I have the Samsung 46C8000 TV
and I am using Mezzmo lately, and works pretty good and I am happy with it.

Just one small thing,
can you play through Mezzmo,
MKV video files with embedded subtitle tracks and select to show them??

or if somebody knows any trick with any tool to process the file and force it to show the subtitle track!!

Thank you!

I don't think Samsung C-series TVs let you choose the embedded subtitles within an MKV video file.

My suggestion is for you to extract the subtitle from the MKV using a tool such as MkvExtractGui-2 (or try others) and then save it as an .SRT subtitle file in the same folder as your MKV video file. Keep the same name as the video file (e.g. C\videos\inception.mkv and c:\videos\inception.srt) and Mezzmo will deliver this SRT file to your Samsung TV and your TV will display it. Make sure you are using the Samsung C device profile (go to Media Devices dialog in Mezzmo to check this). After creating the .SRT file, use Maintain Library in Mezzmo so that Mezzmo picks up the new .SRT file.
