Subtitle w/ Mezzmo Android and WD TV Live

[MidnightInAurora]

I did find the audio and subtitles in the details page along with 2 edit selections.

I have a MKV with 2 SRTs; English and English Forced. Both appear in the app detail page and both are checked. I unchecked English Forced and clicked apply - no subs.

Am I using this right?

Check that transcoding is turned on for your WD TV Live. It may be required to embed or burn the subtitles that you have selected.

If still no success, then it's best we see a set of logs. Turn on logging in Mezzmo (Windows) (see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging). Restart your Mezzmo server. Now repeat the steps on Mezzmo Android to try to play a video with selected subtitles. When the subtitles do not display, stop your Mezzmo server and exit Mezzmo (Windows) app. Zip up all your logs and email them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com.

Hello, iam new to this forum ,
just registered here and want to ask -

Iam using the last version of Mezzmo for Android - 1.1.5, but i cannot find any settings for subtitles in the app menu.
Is is possible to activate subtitles (especially .srt files), when i am watching a movie thru wi-fi on my TV...?
Thanks in advance

Yes - you can select what subtitles to display on your devices using our Mezzmo (Android) app on your Android tablet or smartphone. You need to touch the icon/thumbnail for a movie on Mezzmo (Android) app (instead of touching the text name) and that will display the full movies details (e.g. title, description, tagline, actors, writers, producers, season, episode, poster, backdrop, etc.). It also display the currently selected subtitle. Touch the "Edit" link next to the subtitle section and it will let you choose from the available subtitles to display. Now play your movie and Mezzmo will stream that that subtitle with your movie. See this link for more details - http://www.conceiva.com/products/mez...d_features.asp

If you don't see subtitles listed for your movies in Mezzmo (Android) app, then go back to Mezzmo (Windows) app and right-click on the video and click Properties. On the Properties dialog, go to the Subtitles tab to view all subtitles that Mezzmo has found for your video. If none are listed, then click the "Update Subtitles" button to force Mezzmo to search for associated external and embedded subtitles for the video. If still none are listed, then you may not have any embedded subtitles in the video or may not have named your external subtitle files correctly.

Sorry, but iam unable to view any details for subtitles. I touched the icon of a movie from Media bar and it gave me a menu with options : Play the file, queue file, queue all files and so on...
When i touched the icon of a movie from Playlist bar it gave me a bigger view of a thumbnail for a movie, 5star rating and the duration of a movie in mins, nothing else...

I cannot use Mezzmo windows app, because i only have my smartphone and my TV and dont want to use any pc....

You should see something like this for your movies and TV shows:

If you scroll down the page, you will see the various details about the movie or TV show. If there are subtitles associated with teh movie or TV show, then you also see a "Subtitles" section on this page and the currently selected subtitle listed. Next to it will be an "Edit..." link. If you touch this link, then you will be able to select from the various subtitles that Mezzmo has found for your movie or TV show.

If you still don't see subtitles listed for your movies in Mezzmo (Android) app, are you connecting to Mezzmo (Windows) server or another DLNA server (such as Mezzmo Android's built-in server or another DLNA server on your home network)? If the latter, then that will explain why you don't see subtitles. Mezzmo Android app will only display & let you choose available subtitles from Mezzmo (Windows) server.

Iam using Wi-Fi network between Mezzmo Android app and Smart TV...
No mezzmo windows server...

Is there any chance subtitles to be implemented without using mezzmo windows server in next versions of the android app ?

P.S. On the above photo the device is my smart TV and the server is Mezzmo android app....
