MKV embedded subtitles not shown on raspberry PI

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

Hi everyone!

I am now 3 days trying to solve this issue, so you are my last resort Smile

I hope this is the right thread for this.

I am setting up Kodi 15.2 on Raspbian (wheezy):

I have troubles getting embedded .mkv subtitles to get working. I’ve read that this might be caused by missing support of SSA/AAS/ASS subtitles.

I’ve tried the following (as per this thread https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/cant-get-sub…2/213/12):

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install libass-dev

Which run successfully, then I rebooted the raspberry PI and tried again with no avail. I made sure the subtitles are enabled in the on-screen menu under the Sound icon.

I also tried this, but it fails with an error:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libass5

Error:

Code:
Package libass5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libass5' has no installation candidate

I also tried installing the opensubtitles plugin, but this didn’t work (probably the watched anime isn’t available on there).

In the Kore android applications, when checking the subtitles sub-menu when a video is playing, it shows up as “eng |”.

Here are the video details:

Any pointers would be incredibly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
