Version: 2.0 (using KDE 4.6.3) OS: Linux Hello! Can you add the feature that I can add subtitles to videos that I play. VLC has this feature. Often you download videos in various languages, and if I can add subtitles later. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: VlC software. The feature is in: Right click on the video -> Video -> Subtitles track -> Add file.
This lack of subtitles is a huge dealbreaker, the only reason I'm sticking to mplayer. I think it's an important feature in any video player.
will this piece of software gain external subtitles support or it's just fair to state to directly jump using smplayer or vlc for real everyday use?
this is still a blocker bug to me. it prevents me from using this video player. 4.11 beta2.
Subtitles will load if you use the phonon vlc backend. You need to install phonon-vlc from your package manager and change it to the default from System Setting -> Multimedia -> Backend. You will need to place the subtitles file in the same folder and with the same filename as the video file.
@Shimi you're right about pointing it out. but to me, if i should watch videos i'd directly use VLC client rather than dragon+phonon-vlc (anyway i use smplayer) and still this solution is not applying to gstreamer0.10 backend. maybe this feature will become available after the porting to gstreamer1, at least I hope. i don't know if this bug report is worth being kept open, since it belongs to phonon-gstreamer backend, I suggest to mark it as closed.

Yes it is. libphonon 4.7.0 - Additional subtitle API (only partially backed by Phonon VLC - see FeatureMatrix) [#300967]. phonon-gstreamer 4.7.0 - Backing for the new MediaController subtitle API.
Dragon sometimes crashes when I use vlc backend. And vlc backend has this bug that never will be fixed. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376765 Dragon needs proper external subtitles support.
