movies play great but there are no subtitles. the video and srt files are named the same.
what should I do?

i think its related.

Since i have very basic subtitle needs , i have deleted content of "Subtitles language priority" and "Audio/subtitles language priority", and that works for me.

Alltho.. you might need the above settings if you got files that contain multiple languages/subs ..

I havent found solution for this yet. that link was not very usefull but thanks anyway.

so it does not help if you rename your srt <moviename>-en.srt ?
(and "en" is in subtitle language priority list)

If not, sorry then your right, it's not related.

Maybe try pack and upload debug files

here it is.

EDIT: and some ss's of whats happening on my tv:

after the last one, movie starts to play, but without subs, as I mentioned.

Are the subs embedded?.. or do you have a srt file next to the movie?

not embedded, just 2 files named the same: 'movie.mp4', 'movie.srt'.

Ok, cause it seems to me that it's getting ignored completely.
Imo, Your file name should be xxx [External Subtitles]

Have you tried:
Movie.mp4
Movie-en.srt
Just curious

yes, I tried that to.

Ok, thanks.

Well.. actually i seem to have the same problem with the WD TV Live i just got in yesterday.
Even the player says Movie.avi [External Subtitles] , the movie gets served and not transocded with mencoder.
