...it's possible natively ?

Or I need some plugin ?

P.S. Video file it's on shared folder of a network pc.

In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...
