Hi, Is there an option to use the native player on LG TVs?  
I have some .mkv that I get from some remote server and all works fine, but I can’t load embedded subtitles. Because I work with html5 …

Or is there any alternative solution for my problem?

Thanks.

In webOS TV apps, only an external subtitle in the form of .vtt (WebVTT) is officially supported. For more information, please refer to [Video and Audio Format specifications](https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/specifications/video-audio-250#subtitle-format). Thank you.
