[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1275276, member: 18896"] What you are is after subtitles with the forced-flag active. This is not easy achieved with external subtitles, but naming then as "Movie.File.Forced.srt" alongside "Movie.File.mp4" for example sometimes works. Ideally you obtain one of the many mux-tools and merge your external SRT into the media-file and then set the 'Forced' flag on the non-English file. What you can otherwise do is switch codecs/filters because they might have their own subtitle engine support with better external subtitle file support, such as MPC-BE (after MPC-HC went with LAV).

Be sure to activate hardware-acceleration where needed and configure the filters/codecs for your environment. [/QUOTE]
