Hello guys,

I've made a VLC remote mobile app and all of a sudden I can't add subtitles using

?command=addsubtitle&val=<uri>

As a test I used firefox but still won't work.

File data:

<element type="file" path="E:\downloads\movies\Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace (1999) [1080p]/Star.Wars.Episode.1.The.Phantom.Menace.1999.1080p.BrRip.x264.BOKUTOX.YIFY.srt" name="Star.Wars.Episode.1.The.Phantom.Menace.1999.1080p.BrRip.x264.BOKUTOX.YIFY.srt" access_time="1400430767" uid="0" creation_time="1400430767" gid="0" modification_time="1400430947" mode="33206" uri="file:///E:/downloads/movies/Star%20Wars%20Episode%20I%20The%20Phantom%20Menace%20%281999%29%20%5B1080p%5D%2FStar.Wars.Episode.1.The.Phantom.Menace.1999.1080p.BrRip.x264.BOKUTOX.YIFY.srt" size="122784"/>

the browser command:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:8080/requests/status.xml?command=addsubtitle&val=file:///E:/downloads/movies/Star%20Wars%20Episode%20I%20The%20Phantom%20Menace%20%281999%29%20[1080p]%2FStar.Wars.Episode.1.The.Phantom.Menace.1999.1080p.BrRip.x264.BOKUTOX.YIFY.srt

VLC output:

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks
