[QUOTE="FabioCL, post: 935847, member: 121955"] Hi again. I solved my problem with subtitles. There were two things that were preventing the subtitles to be displayed in my Android Tablet. Problem #1: I was using the FFmpeg profiles to stream video. I read somewhere in this forum about some limitations that FFmpeg has regarding subtitles and the advice to use VLC instead. Well, that didn't solve the problem at first. It took me a while to figure out that VLC didn't work because of... Problem #2: This one was a little tricky. I was doing all my tests with TV series. I live in Brazil and, in portuguese, our word for "series" is "séries" (yes, much alike, except for the accent in the first "e"). So, I named the folder that holds my TV series as "Séries". I don't know if its a VLC or MPExtended limitation, but I discovered that VLC couldn't render the subtitles because of the folder name. After I renamed the folder, removing the accent of the word, and rebuilded the MP TV Series database, everything worked as expected with the VLC streaming. I spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. Hope this help someone else. Accents are not common in english but there are a lot of languages that use them. Sorry about my poor english too.
