VLC 3.2.3 can't load subtitle files

Postby lemmy999 » 08 Dec 2019 18:21

I am running 3.2.3 on an Nvidia shield (running SHIELD Androind TV 8.0.1). All of my files are on a computer on the same LAN and accessed via SMB. When I choose "select subtitle file" the window comes up showing the files in the directory with the video I am playing. I have a couple of issues:

1. There is nothing indicating which file is going to be selected before I click on it. I just have to count how many times I push the "down" button. Nothing is highlighted in orange or no pointer of any kind.
2. Once I select a valid .srt file, it opens and gives me only two options "play as audio" or "delete". If I select play as audio file nothing happens and ultimately playback of the video stops and I go back out to the navigation screen. If I choose "delete" then it asks if I am sure I want to delete it and I click "ok" and it doesn't delete it and it just goes back to the previous screen.

Anyone else having this issue? I know the .srt file is a valid subtitle file because it works in Kodi and also in VLC on my PC. Also I only get those same two options when I select any other subtitle file in the "Subs" directory.

Is this going to be fixed in 3.2.4 or has subtitle support been removed from VLC?

Is there some reason that the developers 1. screwed this up and 2. won't even acknowledge it?
