Stream VIDEO_TS to PS3, no subs

[guido]

Today I wanted to use WMS to stream a DVD VIDEO_TS to my PS3. This worked better than I expected but I cannot get the subtitles to show up.

I've read the sticky thread about subs but found no anwsers there. I'm hoping someone can point out that one little config thingy that I have overlooked.

The option "Creating DVD-structure folders for DVD-directories" under scanning is enabled. So is the option "Always perform transcoding when subtitles are found." under device for the PS3. In the transcoding section I've configured subtitles to be enabled as well. The default subtitle language there is set to "nld".

In the WMS "List [Movies]" on the main screen the VIDEO_TS movie is listed and WMS indicates that there is an embeded subtitle track (CODEC DVDSUB) for the language nl.

On the PS3 I see my movie and I can navigate through Transcoding->Movie name->Settings->Subtitles. There I have two options: NL subs or No Subs. On a side note; Nothing happens when I choose NL subs there. Somewhere I've read the selected choice should be indicated with an "(A)" in front of the menu item. I don't have that. I dont know if this is related...

The movie plays just fine but without subs. I don't know what else I can try next. Any suggestions are welcome.

On right click of the mouse in the list of movies you can perform a test transcoding. What are the parameters of transcoding?

Test Transcoding fired the same command 6 times in a command window. I had to press [q] 6 times to stop it. Why is that?

I Think this is what you are looking for.
I noticed the mention of stream #0.2: Subtitle: dvdsub. But there is no Stream mapping for stream #0.2, I don't know if there is supposed to be one...

Yes they are! Could it be something else?

Transcoding parameters without subtitles

Transcoding parameters without subtitles

Could you elaborate on this please. How should the transcoding parameters look like? Which parameter is for subtitles in particular? Is there a way to manually override transcoding parameters to force subtitles. Because I'm telling you I have checked subtitles in the user interface.

Thanks again for your time.
