Hi,
While playing *.avi and *.mkv files on my ATV2, the subtitles doesn't appear. The subtitltes are *.srt format and it's exactly the same name as the video file (except the file extension).
Example:
movie.avi
movie.srt
I already restored my ATV2 firmware once, thinking that this could be related with the greenpois0n jailkbreak. However, after installing the XVMC for the 2nd time, I've faced the same issue.
Could some one give a help?
Regards,
Marco

Are you sure they are enabled ?
Srt subtitles should work perfectly, SSA subtitles wont work at all unless you turn off hardware decoding which defeats the purpose.

Hi,
Yes, I'm 100% sure that's enabled.

Hi again,
I figure out the problem. I was using unpn to access my WD My Book World Edition 1TB. Then, I tested by using SMB and the subtitles appeared!
This could be useful for those who are experiencing the same issue.

Hi Im a new one to the way of ATV2 and have managed to Jailbreak it and Install XBMC but I have the same problem with Subtitles. I see you have a solution but how do you implement the solution if you are a newb. Does any body have any instructions on what to do with the command line above.

What is OSD? Does it come with xbmc? How do I access it?

Ok, found it. Now I can also confirm that subtitles only work over smb, not dlna. Read on the net that srt subtitles is not part of the dlna standard, but rather need to be added to the upnp client as an extra feature.
Samsung has managed to pull this off on their tvs it seems like. Maybe a feature request for the xbmc team?
