Cant read sub or srt subtitles

Postby supercain2 » 15 Nov 2015 13:15

Hi,

I cant have VLC display .sub or .srt subtitles. Neither by naming video and subtitles files the same nor loading the subtitles manually will work. Only if I convert them into ASS or SSA they display with no problem. Why is it that? How can I fix this?

Thank you.

In Windows I can give this command line:

>"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc" "F:\songs\Sorry Her Lot.webm" --sub-file="F:texts\SHL.srt"

It correctly plays the video "Sorry Her Lot" with its subtitle file.
