Hi! I have finally made MediaTomb to work and scan my movies. But when I started playing one, I realized that it did not pick up subtitles.

I have the subtitles in the same folder as the movie and they are both named the same.

What should I doĦ I've searched in google and I did not find a solution. Should I tweak the config.xml file? How?

Thank you for your comments.

hmm, did a quick google search for "subtitles with mediatomb" and plenty of results. See this...

http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/transcoding:transcoding

Never tried though... Good luck! Let us know if it works.

Thank you Shabuboy.

I have been trying to modify Mediatomb's config file but, so far, I have been unsuccessful.

I could follow the instructions of adding mimetype for subtitles because I found the line. But afterwards, I did not know where to add the other lines. Not to mention the last step. I tried to put one behind of the other but, when I tried to open the xml file, the browser reported the following error message: "End tag 'config' does not match the start tag 'mimetype-profile-mappings".

From reading other posts regarding this matter, I believe that I should have transcoding enabled. I do not see such a line in my config file.

I googled for instructions to edit a config file but I did not find a clear explanation.

I attach my config file, just in case you can find missing lines.

Sorry man, not an expert and have never tried.

Anyone else?

Does anybody know how to allow subtitles in Mediatomb?  Any comment will be highly appreaciated. Thank you.

I have the same problem with MediaTomb - it does not support subtitle file. But with MiniDLNA I did not have any problem!
