  1. Subtitles on Firestick not displaying on network share


    Hello,

    Unfortunately the VLC for firestick app doesn't show SRT subtitles if I play the video from a network share. The subtitles work fine if I upload the video and SRT to the device. Summary:

    The files are named "video.mp4" and "video.srt" and both exist in the same folder.

    VLC for Windows(PC) displays the subtitles fine, regardless if I play the video from local harddisk or over SMB share.

    VLC for Firestick does not show or play the subtitles if I play the video from a SMB share. The subtitle file seems not to be recognized at all. I can't see the SRT file in the file list when I browse the SMB share contents in the app. Also, unable to download the external subtitle file as well.

    Thoughts please!

    Thanks.

    :)

    Share subtitles on a network

    I've set up a local network via which I share .mp4 files. I also have .srt files with exactly the same name in the same folder.

    However, when I try to watch that video through the network, the video loads but the subtitles won't. Any way to fix this?

    Thanks in advance!

  3. Displaying subtitles

    Hi,

    My name is Angel. I am an Independent Advisor. Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to follow these steps: to select subtitle file in videos:

    -Normally, the app attempts to search for subtitle file associated with the video file playing. But if it can’t find it, or there is other subtitle file you want to use, just click the subtitle icon on the control bar (it’s between play button and volume button),
    then select “Choose subtitle file”

    -Now browse for the subtitle file and you’re done!

    Hope the information provided is useful. If the issue persists, reply here and we will be glad to help you.

    Angel.

    Subtitles on Firestick not displaying on network share

    Share subtitles on a network

    I use VLC media player.

    The subtitles work when I open the video on my computer itself, however if I access the file from another computer (also using VLC media player) the subtitles don't show.
