Total video player for srt files3/11/2023 ![]() I want a solution to MY problem, and that does not involve 'selecting on the fly' I'm quite happy to select the appropriate subtitle file before I put the video on the USB but once it is there AS A SEPARATE FILE, I want to be able to tell the 'gadget' to play it. ![]() This trick only works with MKV video files: MP4 and AVI do not support embedded, selectable subs so you would be back to the singe external sub limitation with those formats. But this is limited to just two different subs (one internal and one external) unless your MKV includes multiple additional internal subs. So if your MKV file includes an internal English sub, you can bundle an external French etc sub file with it in the same folder and most hardware media players will then recognize both subs, letting you choose between them on the the fly. Most hardware players will load both the embedded subs and one external sub file you pair with the video file. You can kinda/sorta fudge on-the-fly sub switching if the video file is an MKV with one or more internal embedded subs. Gets the job done, but obviously not very convenient if you want to spontaneously alternate between hearing impaired/normal or constant/forced only or English/French. You would need to pick which of the several sub files you want for that viewing session, rename it to match the video file, and put it in the same folder. You can choose among different subtitles ahead of viewing, but cannot choose on the fly. They usually follow the rule that any external subtitle must be named exactly the same as the video file and be contained in the same folder with it. This particular feature of PC software players like VLC (ability to select among multiple external subtitle files on the fly) is very very rare in standalone hardware media players (at least, I've never seen one that could do it).
