My server is the server connected to the network and my kodi box isn't Android it's a purpose built computer running pure libreelec and nothing else which is basically kodi and I've not had any issues connecting to play my media at all,when you say blu rays and DVDs have menus to select the various subtitles this is true when you want subtitles but I'm not talking about subtitles as such I'm talking about forced subs when people talk foreign language in English films and these you do not select there provided automatically. Which is more expensive, and also seems to have a 13 month hardware expiration built in. Too bad they fail to boot after the warranty expires, and they've stopped selling anything except the Android version. Maybe Kodi would work with my network media server if I have the right pirate torrent plug-in?īest hardware player interface and software I've seen so far came with the KDLinks non-Android players. And my latest Android-based player uses a different media player, with its own problems. Bluray PGS subtitles? I had to use the Android Media Player if I wanted to see those. If I remember correctly, it would display DVD VOBSUB subtitles just fine, would mostly work with SRT, and sometimes worked with Substation Alpha subtitles, if you muxed them in correctly, and included all fonts used. Kodi worked for SOME subtitles, and didn't see others. Close behind that was support of subtitles. The main issue I had how to get it to connect to network-based video sources, other than YouTube. Unless, of course, you compare it to the other programs that suck even worse. I have had two Android devices with Kodi installed, and I cannot see why people praise it so much. And sometimes the flags don't work out just right, and the player software will make choices differently than you'd expect. Although that second part doesn't seem to work very often.ĭVDs and BDs have menus that tell them which tracks to use for different playing conditions. I've found that the "most reliable" is to make your preferred subtitle track the FIRST one in the file, and maybe even use the default flag on it. So why don't the players like Kodi pick up the flag or tags like hardware players do. There must be a flag or tag in the Blu-ray disc etc to say default is English you must show these forced subs, in Kodi for example I have to tell it The Martian 4K forced subs are track 3, some of the star wars are track 6, when I rip a disc I don't know what track is the right one (I rip all tracks anyway) I know MKV Flags: Default on some tracks so I assume this is the right track for my language when there are a few subtitles PGS English tracks. What I don't understand with forced subs I put a disc in my player DVD, Blu-ray, 4k whatever it knows i'm English and at the right time in the film whatever subtitle track the forced subs are on they show up fine every time with no prompting from me. I've been ripping my media for a long time in probably every format at one time or another and I've always has issues with forced subs, I was told at one time that Kodi only worked with Forced subs if its ripped in folder structure, not true, I know kodi and other programs can be a bit hit and miss, forced subs work in MPC-HC but not in Kodi or powerDVD doesn't play but another does.
