Forced subtitles on MKV files

[cineko]

Hi guys,
We have to convert some BluRays to MKV and then to DCP and the forced sub's are not showing up in DCPomatic although they do work playing the same file in VLC so the sub's ARE there. How do I get them to work in DCP-omatic?

You probably missed activating them with the 'Use as' checkbox under the Timed text tab. That tab will only show up if captions are detected in your sourcefile. By default, captions contained in source files are never enabled automatically.

That was indeed the problem - all working now.
Thanks Carsten!
