Re: Video player with external subtitles support
 

Download and install "Subtitles Support" from App. manager. Reboot after installation. You can configure it from the Settings app (look at the bottom of the displayed list of settings, in the Extras section, where it places itself).

NOTE: I have problems with subtitles using accented characters (spanish) and Sib. They are displayed fine within the standard Media Player, but you have less control of position and sync.

Re: Video player with external subtitles support
 

! Solution! Movies -.avi, xvid, divix, mp4,mpeg, audio AC3 codec with subtitles: From Application Manager instal KMPlayer. (add maemo-extras catalogue if kmplayer is not present in the list). For now .avi will work without sound and sub. Now: install from App. Mng. MPlayer (command line only). Close App.Mng. Open KMPlayer (Menu>More>KMPayer). Select the region between the battery icon and x (close ). A menu will appear. choose "select player" and than "mplayer" (kmplayer will use the mplayer codec now). From the bottom choose the "folder" icon. go to your "movie.avi" already saved on your memory (internal- recommended - or microSD). The subtitle will be loaded automatically if is renamed exactly like the movie (Avatar.avi / Avatar.srt). The KMPlayer should play the movie with sound and subtitles because it's using the mplayer codec. But still don't know to change .sub language encoding...sorry!

When you install the applications (KMPlayer and Mplayer) if an error message appears ("Unable to instal....conflict with applicaton packages") Go to catalogues, disable the "devel" catalogue and maybe nokia update catalogue too. See if you you have a duplicate catalogue!

Re: Video player with external subtitles support
 

why KMPlayer doesn't play subtitles in srt with the same name as video file?

Re: Video player with external subtitles support
 

Start KMPlayer > open KMPlayer's menu (tap on top of screen, right from battery indicator) > select "Select Player" > select "mplayer"

Now check if video displays subtitles.

I did it but without any changes :(

Re: Video player with external subtitles support
 

Try if the subtitles are displayed, when you run mplayer from xterminal.

Open xterminal and go with "cd" command to the location where you have video and subtitles file then run this:

If these files have name with space between two or more words (something like "video name.srt" and "video name.avi"), use File Manager to rename them, so they don't have space any more.
