I thought MKV wouldn't cast with sound?
I am playing MKV through a chromecast tab and casting it with sound, maybe I got a lucky file?
Or maybe because I installed the DivX Plugin from Here

How did you fix it? I get the same symptom with the VLC plugin. Is it better with the DivX plugin? More importantly, can you select audio tracks with the DivX plugin?

no idea what symptom you are talking about, i fixed the link in my first post to point at the correct url :cyclops:
Ok
I was talking about the no-sound symptom.
Well, I tried installing the DivX plugin and disabling the VLC plugin. Doesn't do me any good, I still get no sound.
But here's something I don't understand: if I disable both and VLC plugin and the DivX plugin (and the Quicktime plugin, and any other plugin that lists video MIME/file types), the mkv file still plays in a player window that looks exactly the same. Chrome's plugin infrastructure seems very poorly implemented and very poorly documented - it's hard to control which plugin plays a file or even to tell which plugin is responsible for playing it. I was able to get mpeg files (and other video files masquerading as mpeg) to play by disabling the Quicktime plugin, but now I'm not sure if the VLC plugin or DivX plugins are doing anything.
I have neither plugin but now Chrome will play an mkv file whereas before ( earlier vs of Chrome? ) it would only download it. However, it will not cast, only a black screen appears on the TV. Time to experiment I guess.
EDIT: That plugin changes your default search engine to "Conduit" and you cannot unselect that choice. I hope I can deselect it through normal procedure. I don't like it though.
EDIT: No joy, just a grey screen.
I've always been able to play mkv. The only files I can play are mkv and some mp4. Nothing else.
I can't play mkv's with sound, very strange some people can and some can't.
I installed plex media server fixed the no sound with mkvs

It'll play MKV's and the sound depends on the encoding of the audio. The audio needs to be AAC, it'll even work with AAC 5.1. However, if you try to play a mkv with DTS or AC3 audio, you'll only get video as the audio will not decode. It's actually pretty easy/quick to convert audio only to AAC and leave the video untouched or you can just use plex which will transcode automatically.

Surround in Plex is a little sketchy right now they are working on the transcoder as it currently (for some content) is not passing Rear Channel though the Transcoder or CCast. Plex Devs know about it and are working on it.
You should have no issues if your content is MP4/H264/AAC. Chromecast can play these files without transcoding so if you have issues streaming these types it is most likely a Network issue not an encoding problem.
Doesn't work for me. Installed the DivX-Plugin, but Chrome will still try to download the MKV instead of playing it.
i know a software called idealshare vdieogo in one post of the forum.
it can easily helps me to convert all kinds video like mkv, avi, mp4, mov, flv and etc to chromecast supported format.
then i can easily stream the converted local video from computer to chromecast for play on tv by the following way:
Install Google Chrome Cast Extension
Open chrome or a new tab, and then connect your chrome browser to Chromecast
Drag and drop the video/audio file you want to play into the Chrome browser
Click the browser extension and select "Cast this tab", t

I couldn't even tell you right now. I've been using BubbleUpnp and steam from my media server to my chromecast with my phone. Haven't had to convert a file in ages. Sorry. If you want, I'll run some samples for you and post the results. What are you looking for exactly?
Hi, I have a doubt about chromecast, is there anyway to play a video with a .srt for subtitles in the chromecast?

I've had this discussion over at the Plex Site and I'll repeat it here...
External SRT files are just an awful way of doing subtitles no matter what you use.
As for Plex support yes it does support them but it transcodes them into the video (Server Side insertion) which is not the best way to go about this.
Client Side Overlay Subs are the best way to support any subtitle but it requires the source to have a Subtitle text track encoded in he source.
My feeling (and I know many disagree) is unless you live in the UN or live in a dorm full of foreign exchange students there is no reason to need to see a movie with French subtitles on Tuesday and German Subtitles on Thursday!
So just re-encode the source and hard code the subtitles in the language you need or at least re-encode the external SRT into it on the Subtitle/Text track of an MKV or MP4.
The Plex Player app however does not support client side subtitle overlay as I type this so hard code is the best way to go there unless you have a decent machine doing the transcoding for you.
Thanks for the answers

This is why even with Chromecast I have kept my old Galaxy Nexus around to use with MHL and a Bluetooth Mouse. BSPlayer has wonderful subtitle support. Open a video without subtitles and it'll go scan the interwebs for likely subtitle file matches, and allow you to pick one.
I think it's not impossible for a Chromecast app to support beaming local videos plus subtitles in a manner that does not require encoding them into the video on-the-fly. Just haven't seen it implemented yet.

Right, the app would have to push the CCast to an HTML5 app that both loads the video and overlays it with titles.

Definitely possible as the Netflix app uses fonts on Chromecast itself. Not sure how HBO GO does it, but it provides many caption options for font, size, etc.
No idea where the actual title/caption stream comes from though.
Chromecast support webvtt which are very similar to srt. Free online tools to convert them exist. The issue is that none of these apps support them.

They (HBO and Netflix) are embedded in the stream so really all you are doing is a client side overlay you toggle on or off. Their player app supports this. Unfortunately Plex's does not as of yet. They use their transcoder to hardcode the subs onto the Video track. Not the best way to do it.
In a way they are doing it the same way it's done for Closed Captioning.
The subs are always there it's just a matter of you telling the player to use them or not and do the rendering on the client player end.
wow

wow! What an unhelpful and disrespectful answer!!!
So how do I re-encode the source and hardcode (or insert) the srt into the mp4 using my phone only (not a computer)? Are there some APKs that can do that (please provide a link if you want to help)? And how long would it take? And can a mp4 support two different srt streams (say French and English) at the same time?
And sorry to disagree, but I find external srt a fantastic way to do subtitles, especially when you like to switch between languages and you don't have a computer at hand (which is often my situation when I need subtitles)
Bubbleupnp is supposed to support srt subtitles in next release. If video and audio are compatible with cc you don't need any transcoding server just the app.

Chromecast doesn't support external subtitles, so Bubbleupnp can't send display them without transcoding the video.

I'll ask you what I ask everybody who uses the switch language excuse to support SRT.
How many different languages did you watch Star Wars in before you decided you have seen the movie and moved onto another movie?
External SRT files are hit and miss, Don't always match the video to Sync properly,
And since you have problems seeing them you pretty much make my case for me!
From a TECHNICAL standpoint SRT files are a Kludge meant to make up for lack of, (or limited capability of) older container formats and the sooner we move to or find a new container system (or way to support containers like MKV on a CCast) the better the subtitle experience will be not just for those who need to see a movie in their language but all those who wish to run Media servers in a UN environment and need to support multiple languages for the same movie.
Right now of all the CCast programs I know of Bubble is the only one who handles subtitles properly and efficiently.
If you want to encode your SRTs into a container for use in Bubble I suggest looking into Handbrake or any of the many MKV tools that can integrate multiple tracks and all your millions of SRTs into the single container.
I often use two subtitle streams at the same time... As much as I can I use English to improve my English, but when I don't understand, I switch back to my native language (French)...
As to handbrake, I know the tool, but that is not what I'm looking for... I'm looking for a similar tool on android... most of the time, when I watch shows our movies, I don't have a computer with me...

Android really doesn't have the power in the gut to do reasonable transcoding but maybe transmuxing is possible. Android and Mobile is designed and built to be a media consumer not a media creator. And while you can create some media with these devices Video is not one of the best things to do on them. Especially in the area of transcoding.
As for your desire to learn English via Subtitle, Great that it works for you but I have to point out there are much better ways than switching between subtitles to learn english and the main purpose of subtitles is to see the subtitles in the language you do understand.
Most people who use subtitles really only need one language supported and while what you want is possible and easy to do with multiples tracks inside an MKV, External SRTs don't work as well, are not very well supported, require being in the same folder as the video (which if a Media Server is involved will not appear that way to a CCast) and most times your not even sure if the SRT in question is right for your Video Source.
I have Opensubtitle.org integrated into my XBMC and maybe ONE of the dozen or so SRT files it lists actually work and sync correctly.
I get it that it is far easier to find a SRT file than it is to find an MKV source that contains the subs you want, Especially if you speak an uncommon language (does not apply to you obviously), But from a technical standpoint it is a very bad system for doing subtitles and from that same technical standpoint just because you can get it to work doesn't mean thats the way it should work.
Unfortunately CCast does not natively support MKV container, and does not have a file system that the source video and srt can be co-located in. Which pretty much means the SENDER has to do all the subtitle work either via transcode or transmux.
And Android really isn't up to that task.
Could be one day but it's a bit of a stretch right now.
BubbleUPnP now support external srt with Chromecast.
I've just tested it with one mp4 file and its srt file both stored in the same folder on my phone and streamed to my Chromecast with the BubbleUPnP apk (not going through any transcoding via a PC or server).
So YES, with the right app, Chromecast with srt IS possible

There's a problem with MKV sub extraction currently. I'm working on a fix. SRT should cause no problem.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to play videos with AC3 audio inside Gear VR? When I play such (2D or 3D) videos, the video plays fine but there is no sound and I get a pop-up that the audio codec is not supported. In non-Gear VR mode, the stock video player can play such files with video only but the BS Player app can play such files just fine with both video and audio.
Since most of my videos have AC3 audio, it is a real pain if I have to convert the audio every time before copying such video files from the PC to Note 4 SD card.
Thanks,
Osho
I have read that ac3 codec is no longer included in factory rom because licensing fees. I think the only way would be to reencode movies to files with sound natively supported by Note4

Until Oculus or another developer includes more audio codecs, Gear VR supports only AAC and mp3 audio for now.
With Virtual Dub you can easily and fast convert your movies tho, when you set video to passthrough and only the audio to convert. Takes only a few minutes to convert a movie then.
Sounds easy enough but would you so kindly post slightly more details to doig this in virtual dub? (Not a bioshock reference)

You would probably have to burn it into the file manually via editing software such as Adobe Premier. I know they have plugins to edit VR videos. I think its only available on MAC versions though. I may be wrong.

Hello.
I have a lot of 3d films(around 300-400gb) and I want to watch them on my Gear Vr Light. I have tested so far few players but to be honest i am not happy with them.
Every one have strong and bad sides.
How do I watch them?
- share folder on my laptop
- open network location through Es File Explorer(best explorer on earth!!!)
Open with..... :
1. AAA VR Cinema
2. Vr Cinema
3. Vr Player
4. Cardboard Theater
5. VRTV Free
6. Kodi
Not all of them support this feature and (specially in free version)
I also tried to open movies in MxPLayer and BSPlayer. But it did not work to well.
For me right now for some films best option is Kodi since the reality of the 3d is the highest from all players but it open's only Side by Side films and can't zoom out screen so you sometimes see only middle of the picture.
For many other reason the best is AAA Vr Cinema. You can play both SbS and HoU movies, you can set dimension of the screen, quality of the immersion is nice, but manage of the player is terrible. It is very hard to rewind forward or backward to the point you like.
All players have also one big minus. AC3 support or better to say lack of this support. So I must convert all movies to mp4 which is time consuming.
I am still waiting searching for better player or the best option to open movies in stock Gear Vr player with support of HoU/SbS and Ac3 not to mension that playing ISO files would be also nice welcome.
So... what player are you using and why?
what is a gear vr light?

"Gear Vr Light" is just a marketing name of Consumer Edition(99$)
And to stay on subject.
Since yesterday for me the best option to watch 3d, 360 or any movie is to stream them to milkvr(search for the topic in Gear Vr thread)
It gives you the highest quality I have seen so far in any 3d video player.
Minus is that films must be in mp4 and that you need to install Emby on your pc to be able to stream films to your phone. Is it worth? Heallyeah!!

i´m using VRTV PRO ( paid ) . It´s just great.
Does someone now how i can access my NAS Server directly ?
Now i use ESFileExplorer Pro /Network/NAS and than choose open with VRTV.
I have to do that for each file.
Is there a better solution ?
Thanks,
S.Neumann
Tried CMoare Demo. always crashes when trying to connect to network
Found 2 Players that work great with network access.
My favorite is Archos Video Player.
Works great and you can choose in the Player between Archos Player or different Player to play Videos .
To change "the other Player" i have to disable this Player with AppDisabler Pro.
So this is really great.
The ohter one is VRange VRPlayer that comes with a little Programmfor for PC, where you just drop Files in a Window and than you can watch them on your Phone.
Greetins,
