M2TS files and External sub (SRT)

[Dennisg_nl]

Anybody else having problems with SRT files and M2TS on a prime 3.0.
Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.
The name of the M2TS and teh SRT are the same and in the same folder. With the subtitle button on some files it's shown as external subs and with other files they don't appear ???
I don't have this problem with MKV files.
I can't find the difference between the working and not working M2TS.

Thanks,
Dennis

I (and a couple of others) had the same problem. It turned out that the subtitle files were in unicode format, which is apparently not supported. What you can do is open them in notepad, press "save as" and choose ANSI as the file format. For me it worked.

Set encoding to UTF8

Thanks . Both options did the trick.
Should there be a preference for ANSI or UTF8 ?

No, not that I'm aware of. It looks like the main problem is unicode.
