Enabling external subtitles
- Make sure you have selected and saved a preferred subtitle language in the NMT setup.
- Make sure the external subtitle file is called exactly the same as the movie filename, e.g. movie.srt with movie.avi. Upper and lower case is important here as well.
- Make sure the subtitle file is located in the same folder as the movie file.
- Make sure the .srt subtitle files are saved as ANSI and not with UNICODE text encoding.
External subs in multiple languages
How to enable it
With a recent A100-series firmware you can locate several .srt subtitle files and rename them like:
movie.en.srt
Where movie is the same as the name of the video file and the en is a language code. For example:
MyMovie.2010.avi MyMovie.2010.en.srt MyMovie.2010.fr.srt MyMovie.2010.ru.srt
Note:
- Currently you can must set your subtitle language in the Preferences for the NMT player to load different subtitle files.
- You cannot change the subtitle file while watching the movie.

Custom fonts
