Likelihood of providers having Subtitle / CC capability channels?

[magpie747]

Hi there,

New to here and IPTV in general really.

I'm nearly deaf and I rely on subtitles when viewing tv shows and movies to follow so interested to hear back from anyone in similar position.

I'm starting to realise that getting subtitles mightn't be straightforward after a trial with a provider.

Basically my question is how hard is it to find a service with decent subtitle capability or is that just not possible with IPTV in general? IF subtitles only worked on VOD content that would be fine too.

Cheers!

Installing VLC onto your device, and adding it as an external player and then setting your current player to play programs using VLC. VLC will allow you to download and use Subtitles.

Thanks for reply. So a bit like with viewing torrented files on vlc, you download subs separately and select them.

I presume this just works with on demand content and not live broadcast?

I haven't tried it with live to be honest, I tried it last week whilst watching the Equalizer3 and worked a treat

Can not say ive seen Live well 30 seconds behind IPTV channels carrying subtitles.

I hope and wrong with VOD @Kaspas4450 hit the nail on the head.

My provider has freeview with subtitles as a section, includes nar on it too so it is possible

Also anyone reading this please don't pm me asking for it because you will be ignored

Just as proof that it is possible

If it freezes, do the subtitles go out of sync

Serious question, did you select subtitles on the channel ? Or is the above just a stream of the channel running subtitles at source. Im thinking the latter !

I'm using a mi box 4 with tivimate. I found the subtitle section but none of the feeds I was getting had any available subs. Good to know most provide it for vod content.

Whilst watching say BBC press the centre/select button and you should get a menu at the bottom, navigate to CC if the subtitles are available it is heare where yo can select them.

I was playing about with something similar a few weeks back and one of the adult channels had subtitles on. What a big chopper you have popped up on screen
