Moving Pictures and forced subtitles (2 Viewers)

[badboyxx]

First i took a look in the settings of LAV. The entry in audio and subtitles was missing. But it didn't help.
Then i tried it with MyVideo. The result was the same behaviour like MovPic.
Then I took a look at the subtitle files. The movie which I have problem, has an included subtitle in the movie file, so no separate subtitle file. Another movie, which has a separate subtitle file (idx) is working well. This one appears with forced subtitles as default. I read somewhere that MP is only showing forced subtitles, when the subtitle filename contains the word forced. Is that right? I thought that the player is recognising automatically that it is a forced subtitle and has to turn it on.

The only way to know when a subtitle is forced or regular is to mark is as such.

Inside a container with support such as Matroska/MKV there is a special "Forced" subtitle option that can be used for this purpose.

For external loaded subtitles this can usually be accomplished by adding Forced to the filename, but that has a much lower rate of success.

Ok now I know what I have to do for the next time.
Thank you all.

Die Einstellung hätte man auch anders nennen können. Nicht jeder kommt da darauf, dass damit die forced subs gemeint sind.

Oh sorry, I have forgotten that this is an english thread .
This setting could have been called a little bit different. Not everyone could know what is ment here.
