I'm in need for some basic subtitle help. What filters and settings are needed? (1 Viewer)

Hi.

Could someone please help me with subtitles?

At this point I have used the mediaportal install guide and I have ffdshow, haali and mp installed.

I have a file with subs "integrated in the file(english), but I would like to view subtitles that i have downloaded (.srt). When I try to view the video file in mp i can only choose english in the subtitle menu. So what's needed to make this work?

What do I need to install?
What settings do I nedd to change/activate?
Where should i put the subtitle file?
And where do I load the the file and link it to the video file?/activate the subtitle file
And what name should the subtitle file have?

I hope anyone can give me some tips on what to do...

Hi.

You should always post more info, like MP version

In 1.1, there is built in suport for subs (w/DXVA!). All you need is to have the .srt file named like the movie, ie:

Hulk.avi
Hulk.srt

Just make sure they are in same folder.


Either set autoload for subs in confiig, or start them from within MP GUI(yellow teletext or via context dialogue).

PS:

Simple MP install:
Clean Windows
1.1 BETA (not really recommended for productive systems)
SAF (unloced - see SAF thred) + Haali
Skin: StreamedMP - installs moving pictures and TV series

Nice addition: OnlineVideos - for youTube etc. (MPE1 file - just open in and let it do its magic)
