Sony A80J Google TV - Dolby Vision mP4 files, no subtitles supported?

by Broddick

Hi,

got the Sony A80J with Google TV and using the internal media player to play some Dolby Vision MP4 files via USB the subtitles menu is greyed out. Is that normal?

mkv DV files only play in SDR and Kodi as alternative doesn't support 24 Hz/refresh rate switching on this TV. Is my only option to rip the subs from the MP4 file?

Thanks!

Have you tried Just Video Player? I haven't been able to use it yet because it will only play from internal storage or USB and I need to get a USB hub for my chromecast before I can I do that. But I've heard that it will support DV mkvs, and that it uses the devices player as a base(so presumably it would handle the refresh rate correctly).

Sideload Kodi 20 , Alpha build, should be able to play DV mkv files with sub.

Did you ever found a solution for this?
