Qnap. Strange filenames and no streaming subtitles
Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:45 pm
New to this area, so don't flame me if this is asked before.
A quick search did not reveal anything.
My Qnap NAS runs twonky 6.0.34
I'm trying to understand why I can't play .srt subtitles.
There is no problem when I play the media files through file browser, but when I try to play the file through the twonky browser in my XP PC the .srt file is not requested.
I notice that when I click on a file to be played (in the twonky browser) I'm presented with a strange file name, instead for example "this is a movie file.avi" VLC media player is asked to play something like "O0$328I11599.avi"
The fact that the file name is irrelevant to the original file prevents me from having the subtitles locally thus bypassing the inability of the server to stream them.
I'm having the same behavior on my android device when I use Bubbleupnp as client and MX video player as rendering application. Again the MX player is asked to play a "strange" filename instead of the original filename and no subtitles are shown.
Before you ask, there is no newer version for twonky on this NAS.
Any help to understand this issue with subtitles is appreciated.
