Ummm…downloaded Hammy’s SW in MKV and plays perfectly; fantastic presentation through my blu-ray player!
I tried adding the subtitles with the MKV indications, but I must be doing something wrong.I added the movie and the .sup files to MKVToolNix, started Multiplexing and finished.
Played the file, which plays fine, and the blu-ray player movie info shows there are subtitles to choose, but doesn’t choose them.They appear in numbers…1, 2, 3, etc., instead of the names for each.
Any suggestions or where may ask for help with this?
Each player can choose a different way to display subtitle options. If you watch your MKV using VLC, you will likely see the names, as you expect – so the MKV is likely fine. The problem is likely that the Blu-ray player doesn’t read enough information from the MKV to display anything but numbers to choose.
Blu-ray players generally have very basic MKV support. If you try burning a Blu-ray disc, it may do a better job identifying subtitle languages, if they are tagged with the right language codes. Or you could connect your computer to the TV and use VLC, if that works better.
