Hello again, okay i have come by the next problem in Dragonplayer which i almost forget to report, but no i do.

This is the problem, if i watch a video and i want to add subtitles to it then, i dont see the option by subtitles, the same happens by .mkv files, where i wanna see the subtitle, i name the subs the same like the video file.

If this is not a bug, but a missing feature, then i would like to make it a wish to support subtitle files like .srt, because Dragonplayer is a part of KDE, and would like it when i could load the subtitles in Dragonplayer to, that way i dont have to use always VLC.

I can't see them either.
Here are my system details:
	KDE Version 	2.0 (KDE 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), 4.1.3-4.fc9 Fedora)
	Application 	Simple Video Player
	Operating System 	Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686
	Compiler 	gcc

I've tried with "ISO-8859 English text, with CRLF line terminators" and "UTF-8 Unicode English text, with CRLF line terminators" subtitles.
I've tried with phonon-xine-backend and phonon-gstreamer-backend.
And just for the record, I can see them with xine.

Best regards!

Same here, can't get srt subtitles to work with dragonplayer. Might be a feature request though :)
Comment 3 David Edmundson 2009-01-21 09:03:20 UTC
This isn't something DragonPlayer supported previously, so I'm going to have to mark this as "wishlist". It is something we are hoping to get in as soon as possible.

David's right. I've used it since KDE 4.2 and this never worked.

This feature is found in almost every media player I know - except dragonplayer! If there are srt files in the same directory with the same file name as the video file,  the subtitles should be rendered from the srt file.

Perhaps, this is a problem with Phonon (?) not being up to speed in terms of features?

It would be great if this is fixed.

The original poster makes a reference to a bug in dragon - mkv files allow you to specify a subtitle stream as default - this setting is not respected by dragonplayer. Even if there is a default subtitle stream, dragonplayer starts without subtitles. But, I guess that should be filed as a separate bug (if it doesn't exist already...).

I've filed a separate bug for the matroska file problem: Bug 183538

Any one being able to get sub subtitles work with dragon player. coz its not loading any subtitle files for me.
Comment 8 Karthik Periagaram 2009-03-21 18:46:59 UTC
Me neither. It doesn't load srt or sub files.
