Casting with subtitles

If Apple ever made it possible, it would be good if subtitles could be cast along with the video. During some recent travel we tried casting from infuse to hotel tvs. The subtitles did not come across unless mirroring. The penny dropped that external subtitles are probably added by infuse as an overlay on the video. Selecting the “cast” merely sent the base video stream.

Mirroring sometimes gave aspect ratio issues which could not be controlled satisfactorily, hence the request.

In the nice to have category.

Infuse will support sending subtitles over AirPlay and Google Cast, but the type of subtitles these devices support is limited to text-based subtitles like SRT.

If you download subtitles from within Infuse from OpenSubtitles these should all be compatible with AirPlay and Google Cast.
