Hi!

Im using openelec on the Raspberry pi 2. Why doesn't kodi detect my local subtitles located in the same folders as the videos?

A setting I have missed? Or does the feature even exist?

My subtitles have exactly the same name as the corresponding video file, example: The.Wire.S01E01.The.Target.mkv --> The.Wire.S01E01.The.Target.srt

What I mean is, I want kodi to automatically select the subtitles I have added, instead of having to browse manually in the folders every time.

Thanks in advance!

Works perfectly here... Only difference is mine as named as The.Wire.S01E01.The.Target.en.srt. Note the en for the language. Not sure if that's necessary though.

What distribution you use ? Raspbian + OpenELEC ??

Otherwise try to add the srt inside mkk using mkvtoolnix...................... whit osmc AVI + SRT (external on same folder) working whitout a problems..........

Im using OpenELEC 6.0.1 I think..
I have tried adding .en with some files but no luck :'( Works perfectly fine in plex but not in kodi.
I will try to install a fresh kodi on windows to see if I have the same problems..

How are you accessing your files? Through DLNA or NFS/SMB? DLNA doesn't always work with separate subtitles files I believe.

Another reason could be network buffering. Do you have "<buffermode>1</buffermode>" in your advancedsettings.xml? External subtitles never worked for me when I used this settings. KODI acted as if there weren't any subtitles. There is a thread about it somewhere in this forum... here it is

Strange... I'm using buffermode 1 in my advancedsettings.xml file on OpenElec 6.0.1 and the subs next to the video files work perfectly... Maybe because I use a Mysql database with NFS based sources?

Hi again, my files are located on a remote server which I access through http.
I tried using ftp and sftp which both works, kodi picks up the files just fine.
And yes I'm using buffermode 1 in advancedsettings.xml and has set the cachemembuffersize to elimate bufferings issues I had before.
I still want to use http because it will transfer my files in the fastest possible way with no delay, this issue is really strange and annoying...

Edit: Tried the exact same setup on a clean install on windows and got the exact same issues.

Moved to general .

Looks like this is deliberately not supported:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master....cpp#L1872

IsInternetStream() is true for http. It may not be possible as subtitle support requires iterating a directory which http may not support.
You could post in the Feature Request forum is this is important to you.

I should have added, that my experiences were with SMB and windows. I just switched over to using PIs and NFS a few weeks ago and haven't tried any buffering with it yet. Everything works fine without buffermode here.
