greek subtitltes on PFL6007K/12

[FON]

EPG for Greece is only available through antenna receiver and not throught internet

I guess you found out how to install apps from other countries in smart TV

Flash Content does not work in any smart TV browser as far as I know


please clarify about this.
you were able to see greek subtiltes from an srt file in a usb stick together with a movie?
what is your firmware version?

atrias sorry for the false hope i gave you. The films with separate srt don't have subtitles.
about programme guide i set it to take information from the system not from the network but again i don't have programme. i do something wrong?
have you any information about recording or video on demand in Greece?

[atrias]

I have 6007 series so I am not sure about 5507 that you have

In my TV the EPG and Recording works fine.
I think Recording is only for 6000 series and up.

I think there are no video-on-demand services for Greece but I didn't try to find so I don't know for sure

Please let's keep this topic about Greek subtitltes and not anything about Greece and the TV

[FON]

ok i will respect your choise.
Thanks anyway

good morning again
i am so sad, i just contact with the Greek phone support and i am convinced that they dont have an idea about their products.
i ask them how i can see german apps (because i speak the language) and greece dont have net tv and they answer that i can not (i had read somewhere in this site that i can) and when i tryed the green button it was there!!!!.
when i ask for flash and for epg and for net tv (Catch-up TV,video on demand and..) the said "you are in greece what you expect"
sorry but you have to be carefull what you wish what you say and what you write.
i would like to heare you opinion

Μπορεί να είσαι τυχερός και στην σειρά 6000 να μπορείς να δεις Ελληνικούς υπότιλους.
Πάντως φίλε μου στην σειρά 47pfl4307k δεν παιζει Ελληνικούς υπότιλους με τίποτα...

6007 series that I have does not display greek subtitles from a SRT file

maybe the subtitles you mention are included in the film

Maybe .

I don't speak read or write greek. But I had a similar problem using original dutch srt subtitles. I solved it this way: use the subtitle button and choose "on". Hit the options button. You have several options, one of them is very interesting: "character-encoding" (or similar), there you can choose UTF-8, which solved my problem. There's also a greek option. Perhaps you can try both. Our television is 42PFL6687, I can't vouch for other televisions.

for 5507
i start a film with srt subtitles and when i push the button subtitle from my remote nothing happens after i tryed the options button and the line of subtitles was gray and not possible to use it.
out of the film on main options of tv, the subtitles are open in automatic change.

The srt file needs to have the exact same name as movie. Only the extension is different. I also don't know if subtitles are supported for your television. I highly recommend to read the manual for such information.

It's also possible the options button for subtitles isn't available for 5000 series or below.

thanks Alex, you solve me the half problem!
i change the name of srt exactly like the film and the choise of subtitles button now its open but.... the subtitles that they appear are more like chinese than greeeks.
i hope philips to do something for all of us.

No problem

Try the options button now. I hope it works for you. If that doesn't work, then try to convert the srt to another characterencoding (such as UTF-8), using a computer.

If that doesn't work, try to convert the srt file in another subtitle format. You'll have to check the manual for which subtitles formats are supported. (e.g. subviewer)

If your movie uses avi (divx, xvid) and not mkv or mp4, you can build the subtitles into the file without conversion. Here is a program that works with that: http://www.calcitapp.com/AVIAddXSubs.php You can also find a manual on that website.

Good luck.

this is exactly the problem we are facing with greek subtitles!

the encoding windows-1253 that is said in the manual to be supported by the TV is not worknig as expected so greek subtiltes are shown like chinese.

use the subtitle button and choose "on". Hit the options button. You have several options, one of them is very interesting: "character-encoding" (or similar), there you can choose utf-8, which solved my problem. There's also a greek option.

Yes we have a winner!!!

at least it works on my 6007 TV

I had searched all the menus but I had not found this option for character encoding before!

Perhaps it was an addition to the firmware 150.082 that I now have installed.

For greek readers this option says "Σύνολο Χαρακτη(ρων)".
Not exactly a correct tranlation but it gets the job done!
