MediaTomb Transcoding with subtitles

TiNik · 02-24-2011, 05:07 AM

I've followed the instruction on this site. But I'm not able to play videos with subtitles on my LG TV.

Transcoding is working (I tried the command in terminal) and I can see transcoded video in the list of videos on my TV. When I try to play the video, it shows error "Not supported format"

What format are you transcoding the files as?

I transcode video/subtitle, which takes the video with the same name like the subtitle, and stream it to video/mpeg

Have you tried following the more in depth data on this site? http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/transcoding:transcoding

Looks like you will have better luck with that. Good luck, let me know if you are still having problems.

I think that mediatomb doesn't transcode at all. I've tried to add echo syntax to the mediatomb-mencoder-sub script, which was supposed write text to file, but it hasn't written anything. And when I try to open the srt file in web interface it has mime video/subtitle and shows only text - no video...
