Is there any video player with external subtitles support? I mean subtitles in stand-alone SUB or SRT files next to video files..

Not yet in extras, but there are some in extras-devel (and maybe -testing?), such as Mplayer and Vlc.

If you're not an experienced Linux user, it is advised to wait until stable versions are released.

I didn't try yet but people say if you use the same name for video and srt files, mplayer sill show subtitles

Just give the srt the same name as the avi sans avi extension and mplayer will pick it up automatically. Been watching 3 seasons of Dexter with subs doing it like this.

Mplayer is name of the embedded video player in N900? I tested it yet, but subtitles with same name didn't work. For example Dexter.avi and Dexter.srt.

EDIT: No, I see it yet - http://mplayer.garage.maemo.org/

No... mplayer should be installed from Extras-devel. The default player uses gstreamer which has nothing to do with mplayer

mplayer has no GUI. What frontends (smplayer, gmplayer, kmplayer) are available at the moment?

I must confirm it now, the external subtitles work. There is KMPlayer GUI in N900 catalogue.

There is still an issue with subtitles charaters coding, but I'll solve it I hope.

Thanks. Please keep us posted with the progress, I would like to view movies on the Nokia N900 with subtitles too.
