Subtitles #140

Hello

I'm trying to get subtitles to play with videos but they just seem to not work. Is there a way to make subtitles play with videos?

Cheers!

Players vary wildly in how they expect subtitles to be provided. For example Chromecasts expect subtitles to be provided by an external file from a separate network location in a specific format. Many files have subtitles embedded in the file.

I think subtitles in DMS are served from the file being viewed, with the file extension replaced with .srt. You should make sure the file exists, and is in the expected format.
