SRT subtitles and MKV file (1 Viewer)

[nono64]

Runing MP2 A4
I have a SRT subtitles and MKV video file, same name and same folder, but I don't see a way to force this subtitles to play with MKV file.

There is currently no handling of external subtitles, except the used source filter does recognize them on its own.

Thank you for your prompt answer.
Do you plan this in the feature relasese?
What do you mean with: except the used source filter does recognize them on its own?

It's not yet planned, but if some devs picks this up it could be done.

I have to correct me, maybe not the source filter itself, but i.e. the FFDSHOW video decoder supports external subtitles on their own: http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/wiki/video:subtitles. Alternatives are DirectVobSub or similar filters.

Hi, Thank you, one more question: if the MKV have the subtitles inside can than be played?
I yes, do I have to setup or enable anything?

For me, srt subs work just fine with mkv files. If internal subs exist + external subs exist for the same mkv file, the external file seems to be used first, but if you click the Info button or your remote twice (or F9 twice), you should see a Subtitle menu item. If you wanna be able to turn it on/off, you can tie a remote button to Show subtitle, next subtitle etc.

If you need help setting up MediaPortal (is it not showing subs now?), let me know in this thread and I'll provide screenshots.
