Mux subtitles into mkv file over DLNA Anonymous 2016-12-08 12:47:14 Post No. 57890692 [Report]

My TV can't load external subtitles over DLNA (it's a 2014 Sony, and does it fine over USB, but whatever), so I decided that I am gonna make my own mkv remuxer. That is, take a subtitle file, SRT, ASS, etc, and the streams from an existing mkv(or other formats) and remux it on the fly to send over DLNA. Now, I was wondering whether you could point me to what needs to be done.(And if can it be done without tremendous effort). I know that I should probably make a plugin for Universal Media Server, but I am open to all kinds of suggestions. (I wouldn't mind someone pointing me to a plugin or an application which can do this already.)

Instead of having external subtitles (2001 much), why not just remux it into MKV file it belongs to anyway?

Well, that's fine for me, but most of the time I watch movies on the TV, I do it with other people who need subtitles in a language other than English.

You can remux as many subtitles into MKV as you want, and then select it from TV's or other player's menu.
I am in similar situation. Here is a remux I created for myself that has both Polish and English subtitles included. I can switch between subtitles whenever I want.

the easy thing to do if your tv supports it, is just use plex

Plex transcoding ruins quality.

That's why I would like to make a plugin for UMS, but I don't know for sure if it's possible. It would take small chunks of streams, put in an srt file with MKVmerge and send it over DLNA.

You can use direct streaming with plex since the TV can play the files natively
