Subtitles in PGS format don't show up - sanathdw - 2016-12-24

Hi,

I have a movie encoded using x265 with PGS subtitles as a MKV file. The subtitles do not show up in Kodi (using v16.1) to enable or disable. It is as if subtitles do not exist. Subtitles appear fine on VLC player.

Some posts on the web suggest that the PGS format of subtitles will not appear correctly and i should download or have subtitles as an external file (which I don't want to do).
