Hey all, I have Kodi 18.4 installed on a Windows 10, build 1903 PC. I enabled the UPnP/DLNA service so I could look at the video files through my Samsung BD-J5100 bluray player (don't have a smart TV, so I use the "smart" bluray player as intermediate step).
This all works fine, the bluray player detects the Kodi server and I can play the video's. However, when I put on the option "Look for external subtitles" in the UPnP/DLNA settings (to make use of the .srt subtiles files, since I'm Dutch speaking), it takes ages (more than a minute) to load a movie on my bluray player. When I disable this option again on my PC, movies load perfectly again on my bluray.
For the use on my PC itself, the "Look for external subtitles" does not seem to have impact. Video playback is not delayed on my PC when switched on, only throuhg my bluray player.
My library is not overloaded. I have only 3 TV series and a handful of movies in Kodi.
The problem seems to have appeared after I upgraded my PC to the 1903 build of windows. Before this upgrade, video's loaded fine on my bluray player with the "Look for external subtitles" switched on. Don't know if it actually is related or this is purely coincidence. I tried uninstalling Kodi completely (library included) and reinstall it, but the problem persists.
I could use mkvtoolnix to embed the subtitles in the mkv's, so I don't need to use the "Look for external subtitles", but that's a bit of a hassle when I have a TV-series of 24 episodes... So does someone else experiences the same issue or does someone knows what can be done to solve this issue? Thanks in advance for the support!
