I’m pretty happy with my WMD, using it as a very basic and limited wireless player with my iPad.
I do, however have an important question - is there any way to stream the subtitles of the movies as well? I’m referring to SRT files, located within the same folder of the video files… am I missing something or is it dependent on the player that I’m using? currently using VLC.
@smafra - many thanks for your great advice. Having downloaded It’s playing I’m actually able to both steam subtitles as well as browse through the contents of the drive, so I don’t even have to use SanDisk’s app anymore (it drove me crazy)
I now also have an Android based tablet which I’d like to use with the WMD.
Is there any similar android app like “It’s Playing” that has native capabilities of supporting the WMD and with subtitles option?
I tried doing some research but I can’t find any suitable app. I successfully managed to use ES file explorer to connect to the drive in FTP + BS Player for running the movies, but that’s a more time consuming process.
Maybe someone has some experience with that? maybe I’m doing something wrong and I can easily use WMD with one of the top playes and be able to add subtitles as well?
As I said in the description all media is H264 + 2.0 AAC audio.
I can play all the media without subtitles with no issues and all direct plays, my server is strong enough to convert audio+video if needed.
I actually had a dual audio (aac+ac3) that if played with subtitles and first audio track buffered until I got bored, it direct streamed audio+video. One day I chose the AC3 track and I was amazed that it played with no issues, but all my media have AAC as first track and it’s hard to explain to my family that in some cases you have to use the second audio…
