[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 938270, member: 18896"] That should work by default, but the SRT is only picked up if it contains the exact same filename of the mediafile and then a language added to the end. For example: [INDENT=1]Some Media File.mkv[/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Some Media File.English.srt[/INDENT] This will then show up as "English" inside the MediaPortal player when you bring up the subtitle selection dialog. Even if you do not have multiple languages it can still serve a good purpose for the following situation: [INDENT=1]Some Media File with Translated Language Bits.mkv[/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Some Media File with Translated Language Bits.All.Forced.srt[/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Some Media File with Translated Language Bits.Director's.Comments.srt[/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Some Media File with Translated Language Bits.English.srt[/INDENT] The SRTs are loaded in alphabetical order, so to make sure "Forced" SRT loads before any other you have to add something to ensure it sorts above any others. Inside an MKV container there is support for the forced subtitle flag I believe, but not for external ones. [/QUOTE]
