Subtitles need to render as UTF-8 strings

Im found the problem with some subtitles.
When the Movie mkv have an Internal subtitle stream serenity doesnt show subtitle option for external srt files.
And this is very bad, because a lot of movies downloaded have internal subtitles.

Mkv files without internal subtitle stream and external srt file works perfect with external player.
Internal player with subtitles still not working for me :(

Tv Shows works perfect because never have internal streams for subs, and serenity always detect only SRT file.

Internal player works with subtitles now, but subtitles are too small and have rare charecters...

yeah, serenity only works with external subtitles. I may add support at a later date. One option for you is on the Google TV to use ViMu as an external player. It supports subtitles embedded within an MKV I believe. It may be a while before I get to adding similar support to the internal player. Plus I think you can change the size of the font as well.

See the subtitle section within the Help section for ViMu for more detail.

One more option is to extract the subtitles from the MKV to an SRT.

I cant use Vimu Player because its only for google tv devices, and i dont have avaible download of Vimu player on the Playstore because my device is not google tv, its an Android Tv dongle (Imito MX2).

"One more option is to extract the subtitles from the MKV to an SRT."

I have 2000 Movies on my Collection. U thinks i can extract Subtitle from 1000 or more of my movies? i dont think so. :(

Maybe is more easy u disable detection of the interanal subtitle stream. All my devcis with plex clients have the priority for external SRT file. and never shows internal stream sub.
