What am I doing wrong with my subtitles? (1 Viewer)

[dirkhaim]

I have my subtitles in the directory of the AVI file in both .srt and .sub formats.
For some reason I can't get it to work.

I am opening the movie and press L but nothing happens.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Hi dirkhaim, and welcome to the forum

Make sure that the subtitle file and the movie file has EXACTLY the same name (but different extension of course).

ie.:
KingKong-rippedbyTheOne.avi
KingKong-rippedbyTheOne.srt

Thanks. I am really happy to MediaPortal. It looks very promising.

Already verified this. VLC can catch and play these subs with no problem.

I saw some reply to this using ffshow raw, but it didn't do the trick for me. Anyway, I don't want to go to the tray to activate the subs

You need to add a codec that can display the subtitles. Have a look at UserGuides/codecs and containers - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation I personally installed Vobsub before it became VSfilter and am quite happy with being able to change/enable/disable subtitles using the yellow button on my remote.

Thanks. After playing with it a bit I got it to work.

I asume you are still talking about the subtitles

Hi guys my subtitles were working because I used gooses guide metioned here but now that I upgraded my MP I can't get it to work can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. In the guide it says "Movie Player" but on my MP it says "Video Player" The only setting that I might not be sure about are here in the picture below I'm not sure what to pick.
