![]() If anyone can recommend other off-the-shelf devices that can do a good job of performing the function I described above, I will be very grateful. I realize that an option might be to build my own HTPC boxes to replace some of the WD functionality, but at this point, that is more effort and complication than I would prefer. Since time has passed, I’m not sure if that has changed. When I first chose the WD players, and decided to encode all my media as MKV files, there didn’t seem to be many other choices available. I don’t use these WD players for much else. The feature of this media player that is of most value to me is the ability to stream MKV files from my NAS device. ![]() Since discovering earlier today during a conversation with WD Technical Support that the devices neither sold nor supported any longer, I am concerned about being left in the lurch if my device(s) should fail in the future. Never got into trouble.I own two WD TV Live (Gen 3) media players. FWIW I always leave this flag to its default "Yes". And surely Mosu - the author of MKVToolNix - can answer this if you'd ask him in his thread at the Doom9 forums. Maybe more knowledgable people are able to tell what it's for. I can't really tell you what this does and how players will react on this flag being set or not. Sorry, I overlooked the first "enabling" part. You can find out by demuxing all PGS streams and have a look at them. Obviously in such a case isolation isn't necessary. For example, when you set BD subtitle menu to "None" the player will show only the Na'vi ones. Often in such cases these sups are not flagged as forced, but can be driven to be displayed by choice of blu-ray menu. It's also possible that there's a separate PGS stream holding only the Na'vi sups. These can be isolated with Subtitle Edit's SUP editor. Taking your Avatar Na'vi example, it's possible that these particular subtitles are a part of a bigger, "full English" PGS stream. ![]() SUPs being "forced" on (UHD)BD can be achieved different ways. I hope I am not making poor choices that will cause me to remux all these files again. If anyone can explain the proper way to set things and get things to play a desired way, or point me to a place that can, I would sincerely appreciate it. There must be a reason why they are all set this way. But I wonder if these are the proper settings as, as aforementioned, all the files come with all subtitles enabled by default and with a default subtitle. If I want, I can then chose and enable any sub I wish. This results in the behavior I want, where I play a movie on any player and the subtitles do not play. I have also noticed that if I set a subtitle as the default title it will play even though it is not enabled, which is weird. So what I have done is disable but still copy all the subs when I remux them. I would rather have to enable and choose subs on films that need them. I want to enable the movie subtitles if I want them to play, not have them defaulted to be enabled because sometimes I lend out the movie or use the movie on a player with subs enabled by default and I have to disable the subtitles. As such, if I leave things as they are, with the subs enabled and a defaulted sub file, the preferred language or default language subtitle will always play, unless I have defaulted the video player to not show subs by default it its global settings. So, something is off and I think it is my understanding of how subtitles work with mkv files.įor example, every movie file I work with has subs enabled when I import them into MKVToolNix. In some players I have to have the subtitles enabled and have a specific "Navi Only" subtitle to get them to display. I thought Avatar had the Navi parts hard coded, but that is not the case for obious reasons, but then I realized that on most releases the yellow subtitles with special font would only display when the subtitles where disabled, even though, for some strange reason, this was not the behavior of the file when played in Kodi or VLC on my windows 10 computer. When I disable the subs in kodi or VLC on my windows 10 computer, nothing displays. On some players, such as Kodi, they only display when the subtitles are disabled, but this is only the case on the shield. For example, for Avatar, I am having trouble having the Navi only subtitles to show. I don't think I have a full grasp on how subtitles work. I have be remuxing some movies sometimes from mkv files, sometimes from BDMV folders and am wondering if I am using the proper subtitle settings.
