Subtitle problem

Hi
I have Apple TV and a few films I have watched lately like Captain Phillips and now planet of the apes have a few parts of foreign dialogue where subs would normally appear if you were in say a cinema, and not all the way through a film.
Well I’m thinking this may be a problem just with the Apple TV as all the new dawn of the apes rips on here don’t have the subs for the ape speaking parts hard coded into the film. Therefore most people must be either happy to watch this film with subs all the way through or they are seeing subs just when the apes speak.
When I watch on my ATV I have to keep pausing the film and putting on the subs in the menu, and then taking them off again when the humans started speaking which I quickly gave up doing. Can anyone offer a solution here or is everyone happy watching this film with subs on all the time, or not at all and not knowing what the apes are saying?
Many thanks
Baz

I think you have the full subtitles file. If you google:
planet of the apes 2014 subtitles ape to english
You can download a srt that has been edited down to only ape to english.

This is the best way to get the “.srt” file you need but I think you will need to encode it into the video file itself if you are streaming it via your apple TV. Because the “.srt” file will just be another file that will wait until you do something with it.
For example if you use VLC media player to watch it on your PC, if you run the film, then you can choose what subtitle file you want, but this is done manually. So not sure if the same process applies via the Apple TV.

Ahh, so thats why no one else is moaning about it? Because it’s a ATV problem yes?
So if I watch it on my WDTV player I should only get just the ape subs in shaanig, leader, shuliban rips….I cant imagine everyone else is messing about downloading .srt files etc. Surely if this was a common problem the uploaders would be hardcoding the ape subs?
thanks for coming back guys
