[Q] Subtitles in movies - Android Apps and Games

I read that RockPlayer and VPlayer can read subtitles from text files but i can't set this up to work. I was trying .avi movies with .txt .srt. and .mlp subtitles. Which app can play .avi movies with subtitles from file?

RockPlayer can. Simply put the subtitles file in the same directory as the movie file and make sure they both have the same file name.

Which type of subtitles RockPlayer supports? Beacause i tried couple of times and it never succeed.

MKV subtitles gone when converted

I've recently downloaded a MKV file with subtitles but i can't find the srt file however when it play it with VLC player its there. My problem is that when i convert it to mp4 for my phone the subs are gone! Is there anyway to like make it reappear.
The subtitle (using mkv merge) shows S_TEXT/ASS (ID3, type: subtitles) when i put the mkv in. I tried muxing it but it still doesn't show up when i convert it.
Is there a solution?
I dont think WP7 supports subtitles yet, to tell you the truth subtitles on a mobile device would be tiny and i dont know why you would want to, but that's just me. If you really want the subtitles your going to have to hard encode them into the video which means re-encoding the whole thing again, which means diminished quality.

[BUG] Subs error, only displays the times of the speech, not the text

I love your player, but I'm having a problem playing videos using subtitles at MX Player 1.8.6 and 1.7.32
I use KODI to manage and catalog my movies and TV shows.
The KODI is configured to automatically download subtitles.
When I run any video that had the subtitles automatically downloaded by KODI, the subtitles only displays the times of the speech, not the text (example attached)
To try to solve this problem, I made the following tests:
I tried to run the file both locally and by streming
I tried to run video files of different formats (AVI, MP4, MKV)
I tried to run on another device (MX PLAYER attached report)
I tested several text codification settings
I tried to change the subtitles folder
I tried to rename the subtitles
subtitles only worked properly when I downloaded through the MX PLAYER or when I manually download the subtitles and copied to the SD card
I would love it to be possible to watch videos without having to download the legend again.
I am sending attached:
MX PLAYER report on both devices tested
Sample screenshot of a legend with error
Subtitle file that was automatically downloaded by KODI (not working)
Subtitle file that was manual downloaded (working)

Can't play .VOB files

The MX player app, doesn't recognize .vob files, as a video file. Where as, my UC web video player recognizes and plays all .vob files perfectly.
I am using the Pro version, and I think, it should be updated/built to play the .vob files.

DVD embedded subtitles (Vobsub)

Can you see embedded DVD Subtitles (Vobsub) in mkv video files ?
I didn't manage to do it because, even if MX Player recognised the differents streams, including the DVD subtitles, I couldn't select the subtitles in menu (as if there was no subtitles stream).
I had :
- to extract the subtitles from the mkv file (.idx and .sub)
- to reencode them in SRT format by using an OCR online service
- to replace the Vobsub subtitles by the SRT ones in the mkv video file.
Can you share an easier solution, it there is one, please ?

[Bug] Subtitles with italics formatting do not get rendered

Since the last update, some mkv files that I play will miss subtitles. I extracted the subtitles from an MKV file and found out that if they have italic formatting in them, e.g. "Hello <i>world</i>!" then they do not get displayed.
I'm running 'MX Player Pro 1.51.8 (ARMv7 NEON)' on a 'Chromecast with Google TV'.
