So here's my problem. I opened a video, went to "Video > Subtitles Track > Open File...", double clicked on the .srt file that corresponds with the video, and no words appeared where I expected them to be. I've never used subtitle files before, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not. If anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated.

VLC version? OS ?
Can you share messages with debug set to 2 ?

Posted: **03 May 2010 19:27**

1.0.5, Windows XP.
And I don't know what that means

What is the filetype of the file?
Open Message dialog, put verbosity to 2 and paste the messages when playing.

Here's what an .avi looked like after about a minute. A lotta skipped frames and stuff, but I'm not worried about that. Subtitles did work on this one, which is strange because it didn't work for the mp4.
