I have gotten the impression from reading in the forums that you can get dvb subtitles if you use VLC as tv player.

Exactly how is this done? I've activated the plugin but nothing seems to happen.

Thanx beforehand

MP1 MP2 PLEASE add option for external videoplayer! DE

i love how subtitles are implemented in the MP2 videoplayer, this is just perfect. 1080p playback is also very good. But video playback in MP2 is buggy when playing 4k material. Therefore: PLEASE add an option for an external video player! I'd LOVE to have VLC back as videoplayer, like in MP1! This works perfectly. You will make a...
