Stream external subtitles

By clicking this checkbox, Mezzmo will attempt to stream video files with external subtitle files to your devices that can display external subtitle files. External subtitle files are files located in the same folder as your video files. Mezzmo supports all popular external subtitle file formats such as SRT, TXT, SMI, XML, etc.

Stream embedded subtitles

By clicking this checkbox, Mezzmo will attempt to stream video files with embedded subtitle channels to your devices that can display embedded subtitles. Embedded subtitle channels are contained inside your video files. Mezzmo supports all popular embedded subtitle formats such as SRT, SUB, SMI, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.

Burn subtitles into video files

By clicking this checkbox, Mezzmo will burn subtitles into video files and stream them to your devices that are not able to display embedded or external subtitles.

Global Settings

Click this button to set your preferences for how you wish to read external subtitle files from disk and how you want your subtitles to be burnt into your videos.

Preferred subtitle languages

This list displays the languages that you would like to see delivered to your devices. For example, if you only understand German, then you would set German as your preferred language and Mezzmo would always attempt to find German subtitles and deliver those to your devices. You can add multiple languages if you are multi-lingual. The order of the languages listed is the order that Mezzmo will try to find and deliver them to your devices.

If Mezzmo cannot find your preferred language, then English is delivered (if an English subtitle exists).
