Hi
I have read all of this thread and i didn't see any solution for me. Can you please help me?
I have a Raspberry 3 with kodi 15.2 (openelec) using as DLNA server (media server) and a TV Sony w700b. I don't see the external subtitle on TV. Works like a charm with external subtitles if the content is on an USB stick but over DLNA it works only with embedded subs.
Do you have a solution for me?

Hi guys,
i've read the whole thread but i still don't have a solution
Here's my issue:
On my Samsung Smart TV UE40j6200 i cant see only some external subtitles.
Here a better explanation, my folder structure is:
Series/Mr.Robot/Season1/episodes.mkv with .srt subtitles with same name
And i can see this series with subtitles via uPnP DLNA on my smart tv
Same folder structure, with another series, GoT, and there i cant see subtitles
I can't see rly differences between files, still i can't see subtitles for GoT
I've tried with and without the option "Look for external subtitles" and it doesn't change anything, always mr robot correct and got no, the only difference is a huge loading time with the ext subtitles option enabled
My S.O. is Windows 7 and running kodi 16.1 Jarvis downloaded from the official website.
If some1 of u can help i'll be very grateful
P.S. on kodi on PC i can see sub correctly, and if i use samsung smartview i can see the subtitles correctly, only on kodi UPNP it doesn't work
EDIT: I noticed now that on the tools option on my smart TV, on Mr.Root i have the "subtitles" option, while with GoT no. Don't know if it helps or not

Basically the same issue i was getting here. Except my tv is a LG and it NEVER worked on older versions of KODI for windows.
I really dont know why it works in the latest versions. But if one works and another does not for you, maybe try to convert the subtitles (.srt) files to UNICODE, or UTF-8. Can use notepad for that into 'save as' options, or if you want a real editor try notepad++ in the option Encoding -> convert to UTF-8 without BOM.
