srt subtitles won't show when playing mp4 files on Panasonic television.

MP4 has become one of the standard file type to store a movie in high quality. But when you want to play them on your Panasonic television, the problem you face is that the television does not recognize the srt file that counts the subtitles for the movie, even with the latest firmware update of the Panasonic television. But here's the nice part of this post... I solved it.

First you need to do is to name the srt file exactly like the mp4 file.

Than you copy the mp4 and the srt files of that movie into a folder on your usb stick.

Than you need to copy an mkv movie with the srt file of that movie in a different folder.

Plug the usb stick in the Panasonic television,

The next you need to do is play the mkv movie first and load the srt subtitles.

Go back to the main menu and than play the mp4 file.


That's all, the mp4 file will automatically play the srt file synchronized, you don't need to load the srt file, There is even no option to load subtitles.

Another problem solved.

Now relax and enjoy the mp4 movie with subtitles.

Android TV

Google's Android TV is a new platform in the area of ​Smart TV. Brands like Sony, Philips and Sharp will use this platform in the coming years.

Predecessor
The predecessor: Google TV was a flop. It wasn't intuitive enough, it went too slow and it was much too difficult. This is something Google has been working on very hard and so Android TV was born.

Possibilities
Android TV would be very easy to use in the first place.

There is a range of possibility as streaming apps for music and video.

There is access to Google Play Store where you have access to music, movies and games. Gaming can be done with the remote control, a game controller or your Android Smartphone or tablet. If you're already running a game on television you can safely continue playing it on the Smartphone or tablet and vice versa.

There is a Google Voice Search built in for those who do not want to search long but just want to tell the television what they searching for.

The Cast of Google Android TV offers the possibility of Chromecast. So you can send media from any device to the television long as it is compatible (ie controlled by an Android operating system). You can then continue working on the tablet or Smartphone.
