Cast To plays no subtitle

Thank you for reply.

• I use Cast To Device option from Windows 10 pop-up menu (right click on the mp4 file) . I have also tried from within WMP directly: Start play, Go To Library, choose Cast To - but no subtitles on the TV.
• TV can play subtitles normally. If I play a movie from USB memory stick it goes fine.
• File format is .mp4

The other day I found on the Internet sort of
workaround: a guy has found on his VAIO laptop VCagent.exe program that blocks port 9999, thus subtitles, and solved the problem. But I cant find something like that on my Toshiba Satellite.

All the players play subtitles (VLC, WMP, MPC-HC x64) except Movies & TV player that came with Windows 10.

 

Casting Photos to TV via Chromecast

(You know that Chromecast only works with the Chrome browser, right? I'm sure you already know that, but just in case ...)

It's easy to cast a single photo from your Pictures folder, but if you want to cast more than a single photo you'll have to cast from the Google Photos website.

Casting a single photo is easy because Chromecast can cast tabs. Simply open a photo in a tab and cast that tab.

To cast from Google Photos:

• On Chrome, go to photos.google.com.
• Click View > Cast...
• Select your Chromecast
• To stop casting, click View > Cast... > Stop casting.
