Not playing subs - "no suitable demux module for"

[ybotypora]

Hi,

i've been using vlc quite a while now, always happy with it exept this time.

While trying to watch an .avi with .srt subtitles following error occurs:
main error: no suitable demux module for `file/subtitle://C:\[subtitle path]

I've tried:
resetting prefenreces and cache
disabling automatic sub recognition
deinstall and new installation

when I open the srt with an editor everything seems normal
and the playing the .avi is no problem, just no subs

thank you for your help!

VLC version ? OS ? Full logs ?
