Unable to stream external subitles over UPNP - ttpgrupo1 - 2019-01-11
Hy Guys,
I am not able to stream external subtitles over UPNP. I have Kodi 17.6
On Kodi UPnP server, services settings - UPNP / DLNA - set "look for external subtitles" is switched on.
The subtitle (.srt, .txt) file name is same as the movie's name and it's in the movie's folder
Subtitle storage location: next to the video
I have tried with several client, androit tv, windows 10 PC etc.. but same result.
Browse for subtitle options does not work.
If I try to play the movies from server side everything works okey.
Can anybody confirm if Kodi do read subtitles using UPNP
I do not even know where to start. I have checked all the setting and it seems okey.

It's a longstanding issue AFAIK, and there may have been improvements/fixes on this in Kodi Leia 18. I would test K18, as Kodi 17 is a closed book.
For me it was one of the bigger reasons to not use UPnP again. I'm now using NFS for file retrieving and a MySQL datatabase for metadata sharing.
