VLC is having trouble displaying youtube SRT files properly.

VLC is having trouble displaying youtube SRT files properly.


''Too long; Didn't Read'' Summary. The SRT file displays properly on youtube, but when I download the SRT, it doesn't display properly in VLC.


Details.

VLC is having trouble displaying youtube SRT files properly.

On youtube, the video displays the SRT files properly.

On VLC, the lines keep appearing in the wrong order, basically on top of eachother.

I looked it up, but I can't find out how to fix this.

Please help me.

YouTube. SRT subtitles are displaying right. VLC. SRT subtitles are displaying not-right.

Here's an image.

Having some trouble embedding images, at the time of writing this, apparently.

Here's a link to the image.

The example I'm using in this case is.

Net Cafe - 19961002 - NC101 - Hackers - YouTube

Here's a link to the SRT file.

Here's a link to the video.

http://1ta.6te.net/Net%20Cafe%20-%20199 ... Cetera.mp4

The video is low quality because my web host doesn't allow too-large file-sizes.

You can download the youtube video by looking up how to download youtube videos and yotuube srt files online, or whatever you use.

I know the titles ''hackers'' and this could have negative connotations of being malicious, or whatever, but, that's just bad coincidence.

As a disclaimer, I'm not trying to advertise, or do anything bad or anything, this is the problem.

I also checked out the IRC channel, but no fast response, so trying here.

I apologize in advance.

Also you can use any video or example you want to. I think a lot of the youtube SRT files don't display right in VLC, or the ''auto-generated'' ones, and stuff.


I know this post isn't good; I just wanted to tell someone.

Code: Select all

2 00:00:15,878 --> 00:00:20,278 this week at the internet cafe the 3 00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:22,719 hacker culture are they demons or 4 00:00:20,278 --> 00:00:25,399 saviors would you trust your files to 5 00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:27,479 this man what is the cult of the dead

The timing of the subtitles is starting before the end of the previous one
2 00:00:15,878 --> 00:00:20,278
3 00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:22,719
4 00:00:20,278 --> 00:00:25,399

This just can't work fine. Fix the timings.
