Panasonic TV USD Media Player won't be able to recognize SRT subtitles even though both movie and subtitle files are renamed to same filename.
I tested with latest 40D400 series TV using my external HDD.
Recommend buying a cheap Bluray player or Media Player will solve these issue, of course between the 2, Bluray player is much more worth than a Media Player, as Bluray player actually are much more stable, and play ability also much higher, and pricing can be cheaper too.
Yes, fork out extra money buying these may be redundant as the TV should able to play these file and SRT stuff without issue, but standalone players playback is much better than those TV built in playback codec.
But, if you are talking on SRT stuff, my Bluray player actually can played those subtitle that is embedded into the MKV file without issue, even running on DLNA stream video from my PC.
But, I need to embed these SRT file into the MKV myself 1st before able to play correctly.
The MKV remux software also can pre-select the font type of the SRT to further solving character decoding issue, especially the UNICODE Chinese character.
