How to play videos with subtitles on TV

Play videos with subtitles on TV

The years are getting older and more and more technologies are well developed, whether it is an electronic device or something else. In memory of 50 years ago since 2021, there are no cell phones that can be used and only old phone models with other uses. If modern electronic devices have now emerged and with these tools, young children can learn better with modern devices. There are several things that can make people happy when they see the current type of electronics, including a cell phone. And Indonesians, especially teenagers, are not expected to be able to disconnect their phones and look at them every day.

The existence of smartphones and other electronics such as refrigerators or even televisions is also getting better and better. In the past the television was tubular in shape, but now it has a thin design and is easy to move as it is not as heavy as a tube television. Likewise with the functions in it that are currently available Most TVs already have a smart function that can connect to a WiFi network as well as streaming on a very good quality website. and about the color, of course, depending on the video quality, the current TV model already has a full color, if the existing video is SD (Standard Definition), the color will certainly not be better than HD (High Definition) video and a on a larger one TV screen should be used in HD so that it can be seen clearly from a sufficient distance.

Today’s television is a size that is growing very large, and when it is used at home it may be a maximum of 32 inches. Most 32 inches already have HD resolution and support videos with a maximum resolution of 1080p. Do not forget that modern TVs with LED technology mostly have a function of connecting a USB port that allows users to play videos, music or pictures through the USB cable. So let me give you an example Watch video / film on flash disk, and I also recommend a video resolution of at least 720p for it to look clear. But there are obstacles when watching movies, namely the translation or the subtitles. Is it possible to watch movies with subtitles on TV? And the answer is, maybe it can.

I may have replied because There are also TVs that cannot display subtitles and need to add their own subtitles with computer equipment. Instead, it can be seen from the manual that sometimes there are formats that are supported or not and most are supported in the SRT format. The SRT format is indeed good and many share it, but the subtitles display text in light fonts instead of bold, so it won’t look perfect in very bright light from a movie. This is why many people prefer SSA or ASS format subtitles because they are suitable for television because they have a shadow on the text and can customize the shape of the text themselves. But here I am not sharing how to convert the format and placing more emphasis on how to turn on the subtitles on this TV. Here is the procedure.

  1. First, prepare a flash drive and connect it to the computer. Make sure you have the video and subtitle files. For example, here I am an example that is the name of the video Inside Out.mp4 and the subtitle name is Inside Out.srt

  2. Although video and subtitles have the same name on some TVs, sometimes they are still not recognized. So please create a new folder called from the inside to the outside, then move the two files and give the video a name as 1.mp4 and the name in the subtitle as 1.srt.

  3. Now try turning on the TV and connecting the flash. Start playing the movie and the subtitles will appear. But if it doesn’t appear, please press the button Tools, options or menu on the TV remote control. There will definitely be settings from the video and pay attention to the section Settings for the text screen please activate, now the translation will appear.

It’s easy, isn’t it? Maybe some TVs have different names in the text screen settings section as sometimes they still don’t support Indonesian like LG TVs do, while Samsung definitely has almost the same settings as above. So i prefer Do not use the same two file names in the form of words / sentences, and recommend more too Use only one character to make it easier for the system to recognize and there is no error that results in the translation not being displayed. Some TVs also offer a special mode for conveniently watching movies in the dark and the feeling of watching a movie in a cinema, as well as a sound output intended for this type of movie. If you have any questions about any of the above, please comment.

Hopefully useful and good luck
