Hi 
I'm using a Nokia 8010 Android TV streaming box as a client and use Vimu media player as an external media player because it's the only one that converts aac 5.1 on the fly to something my soundbar supports. (keeping the 5.1 intact and not like other players, turning it to stereo).
My server is a windows pc.
This setup works very well, but I found a tiny problem involving external subtitles;
embedded subtitles work without issue, but seperate .srt files do not, Vimu just can't find them, even though they are named correctly and are in the same folder.
(FYI the internal Exo Player can see / use the .srt files)
The Vimu developer thinks it might be related to the type of network address Jellyfin server spits out to the movie's location, making it hard for Vimu (in it's current state) to backtrack that connection and search for other files in that location.
Can anyone tell me what kind of info / network address Jellyfin server passes to the mediaplayer?
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix the problem? Should it be fixed on Jellyfin's end or Vimu's?
I don't know how to work with / read code, I just see the GUI of the program, that's about as far as my technical knowledge goes, sorry.
Hope someone wants to help.
Thnx
