Hi i'm trying to create a playlist with a few video files, but i can't get subtitles to load.
Here is what i got so far:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/">
	<title>playlist</title>
	<location>test.xspf</location>
	<trackList>
		<track>
			<location>http://example.com:8080/tutorials/Video1.avi</location>
			<duration>3060000</duration>
			<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
				<vlc:id>0</vlc:id>
				<vlc:option>sub-file=http://example.com:8080/tutorials/Video1.sub</vlc:option>
			</extension>
		</track>
	</trackList>
	<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
			<vlc:item tid="0" />
	</extension>
</playlist>

I added this line, but its not working
<vlc:option>sub-file=http://example.com:8080/tutorials/Video ... vlc:option>

The video plays ok, but the subtitles cannot be loaded. Can anyone help me? Or is there other way to load subtitles with video over HTTP?
ps: i want a user to click on link to start playing the video.
