Hi Felix,So far, subtitles are supported only for files which cannot be decoded by the Chromecast device and need to be converted first. For files supported by Chromecast, we can't show subtitles right now. Sounds contradictory, I know.
I wouldn't call this trivial, even if we support it with software encoding. Hardware encoding on android hasn't been merged yet and it's battery consuming and performance limited without.Then the fix is trivial I suppose, one simply needs to re-encode whenever subtitles are used.
Yes, it's now the best and simple solution for PC.Hello,
You can use Airflow to activate subtitles on chromecast.

I understand, but I have been watching this issue for two years now... and this quote of the owner makes me think they will not get to it as soon as they can.People here making demands make me chuckle, which is nice at least - this is free software. Enjoy what you're given (for free) without complaint.

I think this is a case where the devs are more focused on optimising instead of listening to concerns. The solution is fairly simple, but really irritating, they should re-encode everything, which is a waste of CPU, but a waste people are willing to have because now there is no solution. Yes, the main problem is not VLC, but rather Chromecast support, but please, devs, if you read this, please implement this, me and probably a lot more others have been waiting for this "waste of cpu" for years.Well, the issue is that Chromecast does not support many subtitles, and reencoding everything is a waste of CPU...
Not for me, at least some mp4 I am testing, subs don't work.If the video is mp4 subtitles will play.
