Turn off subtitles in MKV files.
Turn off subtitles in MKV files.
Hello everyone I'm sorry about posting here and about my writing errors. If you spot any issues you're welcome to keep it =P. I'm fine watching it on my PC since I can turn it off with VLC. The temptation comes when I try to play it on my TV (LG 55UB850V) using an external HDD (WD My Passport Ultra Metal 2000GB, Gold). I'm familiar with MKVToolnix but often have to remux the entire file. With around 200 movies in Full HD and each file about 10GB, it takes 5-6 minutes per movie. Maybe someone has a simpler solution. I don't mind if there are still subs in the files, but I'd like them disabled by default because I can't turn them off on my LG TV. Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
if the subs are hardcoded, then there's nothing you can do What are you using to play the files with on your TV? I have to do this on my LG TV, whenever I play a movie from plex via the DLNA client. pull up the qmenu while the video is playing, goto video options, then subtitle OFF.
Thank you for the quick reply. Your setup with the external HDD connected via USB to an LG TV seems to limit your ability to adjust video settings.
Choose an HTPC with Kodi for optimal streaming on large screens.
Absolutely, having an HTPC would be great, but I’m fine without it since I mainly watch movies through my hard drive on the TV. Appreciate your assistance.
I'm not planning to check the exact model of my LG Smart TV, but I assume most are quite alike. It was purchased last year during Christmas. Keep in mind after you begin using it—there should be a simple menu option on your remote, tap it and select Video Options. It took some time to understand, and I once believed subtitles would be impossible. Honestly though, setting up a Plex media server on your main device is a good idea. Your LG TV can then access the content from that server, eliminating the need to constantly connect an external device for updates. Filebot can assist in organizing everything for proper scraping by Plex.
Find the button for the settings menu. It’s likely an external HDD control button, given your preference for it over internal options.
It won't require more power while using Plex. If you really needed it, you could turn off transcoding and just play directly. Avoid putting strain on the CPU at all. You can also enable Wake-On-LAN if necessary—I’d consider using the Live Menu, T.OPT, or TEXT options.
Haha, I understand. To use it I'd need the PC running while watching TV. I'm the person who turns it on and off several times a day. I tried those buttons but they didn't work either. I'll experiment with more controls and if it still doesn't function, I'll connect my notebook to the TV again. Thanks for your help and have a great day ;-)
