I recently updated to a Mezzmo beta release and just noticed this the other day when I attempted to watch the movie "Close" on my 2nd Gen FireTV. I wanted to make sure it wasn't isolated to this device so I attempted to stream it to my FireTV 3 at a different location and got the same result
It has some forced .srt subtitles that are embedded in the .mkv file and also available as an external .srt file. Neither one would play nor was available to select. I tried three different media players (Mezzmo, Vimu and VLC) and none of them recognized any subtitles. I have all transcoding turned off in Mezzmo.
Other files have no problems with subtitles in .srt, .ass format or .vob format. But with some movies it's a crapshoot.
I only play from Active Playlists. So far, anything from my "Television" folders is making the subtitles available properly but most anything from my "Movies" playlists does not.
I have attached some Mediainfo files for comparison in case that could be helpful. Close didn't work. The other two worked just fine.
