Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hi,

currently, if I want to see an SRT subtitle, it has to be the same name as the movie, and must be located in the same directory. This approach has problems:

1. it is not discoverable. (I have to read the docs; the GUI does not mention subtitles)

2. it does not work if my movie is on a CD (I cannot change the name of files on a CD).

3. it is not possible to activate and deactivate subtitles dynamically (useful if I am not mother tongue and there is a single line I don't understand)

I don't get 1 and 2. Doesn't the 'Sub title' box on the Source|URL panel on the config dialog (click on configure icon from toolbar) work for you?
Comment 2 Maurizio Colucci 2005-12-28 15:17:48 UTC
Actually I had not found it, since it is in the configure dialog. I would have expected to find an option in the menu...

So I would say point 2 is solved, but point 1 kind of remains. (After all, I hadn't discovered the option.) Thanks for the attention.

It would be wery nice to have "Load subtitle" entry in menu.

In Windows(c) players, it's very common but in linux 
i have seen such option, only in very ugly, xine gui. That is odd.

Or maybe there should be some kind of automatic recognition of opened file ?
(when *.txt file is selected, it would be treated as subtitles).

Thanks for your work!

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kmplayer

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
