We recently bought a new LED TV. It was a Samsung Smart LED TV model UA40D5500RR. I believe this is the cheapest Samsung Smart TV. I really enjoy watching series and anime and the best thing I like about this TV is the
Allshare capability. You can stream your movies/videos/music wireless through your home network and recently I had a problem showing subtitles from some of my .mkv files since our TV cannot decode the subtitle embedded into a .mkv video.
The real problem .mkv subtitles are not supported by our TV but now I found a solution how to show those subtitles
2.
MKVextract (just place this on your MKVtoolnix's directory)
1. Extract the subtitle from your .mkv video
Open MKVextract
Click "..."
Choose the video file
Output directory
Click "Extract"
2. Extracted subtitle will be saved as ".ass"
3. Open the extracted ".ass" subtitle using VobSub subtitle converter (subresync.exe)
4. Save it as ".smi" subtitle or you may save it as ".srt" also but in case it didn't work, save it as .smi
5. Rename your converted subtitle (subtitle and the video must have same file name)
6. Refresh your Allshare Server or place your video file on a flash drive and plug it on your TV's USB port
*subtitles can now be seen!
Note :
Probably .srt subtitle will work in some .mkv file but others do not. Use this if subtitles show in your PC/Laptop but not in you Samsung Smart TV.
This is a long method but this works for me.
