Chromecast not displaying subtitles

[butlertg]

When using VLC 3.0 on my Samsung galaxy s8 to cast a .mkv video file with embedded subs to Chromecast it won't display the subtitles. I have the subtitles set to auto load and during playback I also tried disabling and then reenabling the subs and still nothing. When screen mirroring with my Chromecast everything displays correctly but I would like to be able to cast independently with the VLC app and not have to mirror my device. Hopefully this is something easily fixed, I appreciate the help, thanks!

Can confirm the same issue. Tested the video w/o outputting to Chromecast and it works fine with subtitles.

I have a logcat of the run trying to send to chromecast linked below though I believe the issue might be related to these

As per another thread, subtitles are not supported when casting "for now"

[Dekans]

Subtitles are WIP, we don't have any ETA, but probably for 3.1.

You can screencast as a workaround for subtitles:

OK thanks for the answer (and VLC!) - for some reason I was sure when using the beta version I was able to cast with the subs but I might've mixed the files I was using.

No problem in waiting, I mean it's pretty --please stay polite-- amazing as it is right now.
