Cheers Roderick.
I have been playing around with subtitles recently and find that some titles just flatly refuse to play no matter what I try.
Sometimes it works when the .srt and movie title are different, sometimes it doesn't when they are the same! Sometimes I can add them manually, sometimes I add them through the MC UI. I hasten to add that this is via DLNA, and I can normally get subtitles to play locally.
Looking on the forum and the wiki there look to be a few moving parts so from my point of view it is more a best practice question; i.e. if you try this and it doesn't work then don't waste your time, its not gonna.
Thanks
