Now I see that starting two instances of CVLC as shown above, is a good solution. There is usually no sync problems when jumping forward or backward in the video.

I do not find anything about toggling subtitles in MPRIS D-Bus Interface Specification. As I mentioned above, this is possible using OMXPlayer and dbus_send. When I migrated from OMXPlayer to VLC, I hoped that dbus_send could control the subtitles in this player too. I hope it will be fixed in the f...

I am trying to toggle subtitles on and off with dbus-send. I can use dbus-send to pause, seek and set volume, but I cannot find anything about how to toggle subtitles. I am using an IR-remote to control CVLC on a Raspberry Pi. If dbus-send cannot be used, is there another way to toggle subtitles? Th...

I am using VLC 3.0.21 Vetinari from command line without X on a RPI3B+. cvlc https://nrk-od2.telenorcdn.net/open/ps/dnpr/dnpr63701115/d0bc193d-1.smil/index.m3u8 starts the video in low resolution. After a short time, the display goes black before the video continues in 1280x720 resolution. The audio...

In VLC 3.0.21 this is not longer a problem.

VLC fails to create demuxer for HLS streams from some of NRK's servers: cvlc https://nrk-od2.telenorcdn.net/open/ps/dnpr/dnpr63701115/d0bc193d-1.smil/sc-gaFEQg/V4_index.m3u8 VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b) [019e5f48] main interface error: no suitable interface modul...

Thank you very much!

Using dbus-send I can pause/play, seek and set the volume, but I have not seen how to use dbus-send to get the duration and position. Anybody who knows?

The playlist I refered to is https://nrk-od-79.akamaized.net/world/1 ... ylist.m3u8
As I have written above, hlsplayer.net can play the wideo with subtitles in norwegian, but not vlc.

--sub-track=0 or 1 makes no difference. There is only one sub-track (norwegian).
The m3u8 file has an item SUBTITLES="100wvtt.vtt". Does anybody know what that means?

I also have found that VLC for Windows desktop has exactly the same problem. The HLS video plays, but no subtitles.

I have now discovered that if I open the m3u8 file in hlsplayer.net, the video plays vith subtitles. I think that means that the HLS stream has embedded subtitles.
What can I do to get VLC show the embedded subtitles in the HLS stream?

I am trying to migrate from OMXplayer to vlc on a RPI3 without X. Playing local videos from command line with subtitles is successfully done as cvlc video.mp4 --sub-file=subtitles.srt Streaming a video from a HLS URL without subtitles is also possible: cvlc https://nrk-od-79.akamaized.net/world/1302...
