Should such kind of embedded subtitles like in this mkv container video work with a Samsung C TV :
- Code:
Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1920x800 [SAR 1:1 DAR 12:5], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 47.95 tbc (default)
Stream #0:1(ger): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), fltp, 448 kb/s (default)
Stream #0:2(ger): Subtitle: hdmv_pgs_subtitle (default) (forced)

no one with an answer?
I also have a new Samsung J model and the issue seems to be the same.
Anyone having embedded subtitles in mkv files running successfully?

PGS captions are used with Blu Ray discs, and are image based, rather than text. While the Samsung TVs can process text based captions, they cannot handle PGS. I think (based on my elderly memory!) that Serviio version 1.6 will finally process and burn-in PGS captions. But I haven't tested them yet, so I may not be correct there.

Thanks for the feedback.
I used check and you are right this option is in serviio console. I had to switch the console language to english because german translation of the console settings and help text was misleading.
Anyhow, i turned the "burn in function" on, but the result is that the Samsung TV is not able to play the "transcoded" anymore. If i turn this feature off again the file can be played fine.
I tested serval files.
This happens on the Samsung J-model, the C-model seems to work.
Seems to been issue.
Can anyone reproduce it?
BTW, transcoding whole movies seems to be not a good option for me because the time skip is not available as far as i could test it on Samsung-C and Kodi on openelec.

yeah, transcoding on the J model doesn't seem to work, not sure why.
