LE46C750 & Subtitles

Post by xader » Thu Apr 14, 2011 11:06 am

Hello,
I've got a problem with subtitles using twonky server 6.0.31@WinXP
The problem is that subtitles are available only if filename is <= 8 characters + extension.
The same issue is when subtitles are .SRT or .TXT.

Has anyone noticed such behaviour / resolved it?

Br,
Lukasz

Text files are not supported. If anyone else can confirm there is an issue with SRT files and Samsung TVs, I'll create a bug report for this.

Thought the same that only srt is supported, but works for me with .txt also if filename is shorter or equal to 8 characters

Thats good to know. Someone else said it only works with SRT files. Thanks for passing on that info. I'll ask the engineers if this is a Samsung limitation or a Twonky limitation.

We tried to confirm the 8 character limit with TwonkyServer 6.0.32 and could not do so. As long as the file names are EXACTLY the same with no trailing or preceding spaces we were able to enter names up to 175 characters without problem. That's not the limit, that's just what we tested. I suspect the limit is 256 characters.
