Hi,
I have a WD My Book Live 2Tb streaming Twonky to an Xbox 360.
Yesterday I upgraded the default TwonkyServer installation in the drive (5.something) to 6.0.38 hoping to be able to get subtitles, but they don't work. I have tried with different video formats (althought most of them, .avi), and the subtitles are .srt with the same name as the video.
My questions are:
- Subtitles are supported on Twonky 6.0.38, right? (just to be sure)
- Do they need to be enabled somehow?
- Has anyone tried them with this configuration? or at least in an Xbox?
- I have just seen the release of version 6.0.39, will the upgrade help with this issue?
Thanks!

Re: Subtitles on Twonky 6.0.38 not working
I think your problem is that the Xbox360 does not support streaming external subtitles via DLNA. Actually very few media players do.
You could try re-muxing the subtitles into the video file and see if the Xbox360 will recognize the subtitles that way.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I suspected the problem was the Xbox. And it doesn't list MKV files as video files, so I can't try those with subtitles.
Just one more thing, to be clear, Twonky 6.0.3X streams external subtitles, right? Do you know which media players are able to show them?
Cheers

I thought this only worked with some Samsung TVs, but I could be wrong.
