Hi,
I tried to search and look around in this forum and still cannot resolve my problem.
I just installed MX Player pro. I ripped and made one MKV movie file from bluray with embedded subtitles in the file.
I tested the file with my TV and DUNE HD player and also tested this file on my computer with XBMC, VLC media play. The movie can be played smoothly and I can control, select, enable, or disable subtitles as usual.
However, when I loaded the file to my Samsung Note 8, MX player pro can play movie smoothly and fine. The only problem is that there is no subtitle shown, although I selected or enabled subtitles.
I also tried enable and disable in Setting > Subtitle > Enable Subtile and Setting > Subtitle > Enable Embeded Subtiles , but it doesn't help.
Please suggest.

Did you check subtitle track button on the playback screen?
There may a speech balloon button on the upper right corner of the playback screen, if video have one or more subtitle tracks.

Hi bleu8888, do you mean the mini button on the right corner? There are H/W, subtitles, audio.
Yes I checked it. I enabled one, two, or sometimes even all of them, but no subtitle is shown.
Note: I just tested the file with "VLC for android" and it works as expected. All subtitles work fine.
Thus, I guess there must be some missing or incorrect configuration in my MX Player Pro. Please help.

Would you share your video file?
Also, could you post the media info as well?

Hmm, pgs subs shouldn't generally cause a problem... as bleu requested, mind sharing your file somewhere? If the file's big, could you clip out a few minutes and share that instead?

Hi bleu8888
I installed it. It looks like an updated part, doesn't it? Anyway, it works as expected now.
Thank a lot!
You can use Avdshare Video Converter to removing subtitles from MKV with the help of an MKV Subtitle Remover named MKV Subtitle Remover.

request: Player play Subtitle Movie and movie

Subtitle Movie format srt and SUB or IDX
Tanks
same here ... looking for a player capable of reading also subtitles (.srt)
It is not a player, but you can
a) recode a movie to shrink it size without noticing any difference in Topaz's screen
b) Embed subtitles
c) play the mp4 movie it produces without any additional software: just the HTC video player included in your ROM

Tested and is really working + it gets frequent updates
For playback I use CorePlayer™ Mobile, because i never managed to get tcpmp 0.7*/0.8* to work with a subtitle plug-in.
So I also re-encode .avi (xvid) + .srt files with AVI ReComp
Can it do it with the HDMI adapter and a video player like mvideoplayer ?
It is possible if you have the player in Software (S/W) Decoder mode, for both .avi files with external .srt files and .mkv files with the subs muxed in. Subtitles will not display if you are in Hardware (H/W) Decoder mode. It should be the same with MX Player Pro.
Hope that helps!
It should handle the 700MB avi in Software Decoder mode ?
It should. I tried with a 1.5 gb avi file in software and it worked
you can, just rename the subtitle as the same as the video file ex: theraidredemption.mkv --> theraidredemption.srt
tested with stock video player app and dice player app (both in H/W decoder mode)

How did you get the stock video app to play subtitles? It does not have any options for it.
You just have to rename the .srt the same as the video file, video.mkv and video.srt, when you play the .mkv it will auto load the subtitle, you don't need to change a single setting, it works on my tablet too using the stock video player.
Ah, good to know. Shame the stock player doesn't handle subs within mkv files.
If I use the HW decoder (which I need for Pass through Dolby 5.1 audio to my TV) I get double sub titles. One I can turn of using the MX Player settings but the other one is on all the time I think from the Hardware decoder.
How can I turn off the Subtitles generated by the HW decoder?
I have seen some discussion on this but no solution.
I am using a Rico Mini PC Android TV Dongle to access my Video files. Problem is with MP4 and MKV files since they support imbeded subtitles.

How do you connect to your TV?
can you play the same video in your mobile & check whether it happens or not?
If you are getting subtitle even after disabling, either it have passed to TV or It's hard encoded to video frames.

Hi
If I play a MP4 or MKV file with subtitle track on a PC or not using the HW decoder or other Android players which don't pass through the Dolby 5.1 , I can turn off the subtitles so it is not encoded on the frame.
It seems in HW mode MX Player is still decoding subtitles in HW and SW instead of just one. Unfortunaly MX Player HW mode seems to be the only Android player I can find that passes through the Dolby Signal but it has this double subtitle problem
The Dongle I am using is an Android Phone with the phone features and screen removed. It use my TV as the screen. It is also known as Google (Smart) TV.
I don't have an Android phone to test this on so if some one could play a MP4 or mkv file with a sub title track on MX Player in HW mode with Subtitles turned on I would appreatiate it
Thanks
(If I recode and strip the Subtitles out of my videos it solves this problem but I would like to keep them)
Try disabling/enabling this:
Settings > Subtitle > H/W acceleration

Log of My Problem
Here is the Report Log.
The problem is more then just having two Sub titles. I believe it has more to do that I can not turn off subtitles.
The "Enable Subtitles" and "Enable Embedded Subtitles" boxes even when unchecked I still see the embedded sub titles.
In SW mode I see only one sub title.
In HW mode I see two sub titles
Only way to eliminate subtitles is to recode the video with a blank subtitle track or use a format (ie -not MP4 or MKV) without embedded sub titles.
BTW: I found the following link with the same problem solved by an MX developer in 2012 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27079630#post27079630)
Is this enough information and the right place so the MX developers can look into it?
Thanks in advance

HW Subtitles
I have the same problem with my tablet:
CPU: Quad Core Amlogic M802 Cortex A9r4 28nm 2.0GHz
GPU: Mali 450 Octa Core GPU
This problem happens with both embedded and external text (srt) subtitles. Only srt subs are displayed in default codepage and not displayed correctly.
Does this problem have to do with some firmwares which use custom API to control subtitle display as reported here?: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mx-videoplayer/VhEJNahBRDE/gV3ruvDDn9wJ
My stock VideoPlayer (which uses HW decoding only) can disable the HW rendered subtitles.
Attached is my stock VideoPlayer.
Is there a way to fix this by checking how this is done by the stock player?
Thanks in advance
@bleu8888 could you take a look?
HW Subs Workaround
I found a way not only to display correctly the HW subtitles but also to "block" them from being displayed, at least for my device.
External subtitle text files must be converted to UTF-8 for HW subtitles to be displayed correctly.
A workaround to block them, is to start playback holding the device in up-right position (portrait) and after playback starts, it can be turned in landscape position for watching.
This way, HW subtitles are not being displayed.
Anyway, I posted this in case it helps others having the same problem.
BTW @bleu8888, does this have any logical explanation or it just happened to work with my specific device?
[Bug Report] MicroDVD subtitles don't work on MKV videos after in version >= 1.7.33
After updating to version 1.7.33 or 1.7.34 the MicroDVD subtitles on MKV videos aren't showing.
SRT subtitles wok well, MP4 videos with MicroDVD subtitles work well too.
Example video file:
Video stream:
Sub type: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
FourCC: AVC1 (H.264/MPEG-4)
Bit planes: 12
Dimensions: 1280x720
AvgTimePerFrame: 417083
FPS: 23,98
Audio stream:
Major type: Audio
Sub type: DOLBY_AC3
Channels: 6
Audio tag: 0x2000 (Dolby AC3 / FAST Multimedia AG DVM)
Frequence: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 1536000
Are you getting sound? Did you install any custom codec?
It depends on the device. On my TV Dongle (Rikomagic MK802IIIS8G(B) - RK3066 procerssor) I have sound but MicroDVD subtitles don't work.
On my phone (HTC One S Z520e - MSM8260A procerssor) I don't have sound in H/W mode,
must use S/W audio (custom codec v7 NEON 1.7.32) but the MicroDVD subtitles don't work either...
Does the subtitle file have the same name and is in the same folder with the video you are trying to play?
Yes, it is... I've reverted back to 1.7.32 and everything works ok. On 1.7.33 and 1.7.34 it doesn't.
I've noticed that when I jump a few minutes forward on the movie a random subtitle is shown, but it doesn't change for correct one.
One important thing. I'm streaming this videos from Windows share on my computer.
I'm doing this with ES File Explorer using Samba protocol. Nevertheless the SRT subtitles work well in this config...
Did you check settings>subtitles>enable subtitles?
Yup, it's enabled. I've tried different settings with my TV dongle. In pure S/W mode the subtitles work, they also work in H/W+ mode.
But in H/W mode the don't. I don't have custom codec but I have sound so I presume that my dongle has AC3 codec built in the firmware.

Does MX Player lists the subtitle when you start in H/W decoder?
If it's loaded it will show a symbol.
If it's not showing, do the following
Start playing in HW decoder (you won't get subtitle as per your statement), then try in H/W+ (you may get subtitle). Now close the video & immediately goto Help | Bug Report. Save the logs and upload here.
For what container formats do the MicroDVD subtitles not show? Mp4? Mkv? Both?

@devshin Would you send me subtitle file (or video file is subtitle is embedded in a video file)?
I've checked some MicroDVD subtitles file but could not find any issue.
HI, Embedded subtitles have not been working on MX Player Pro anymore. They used to play fine when the subtitles box was checked but now there are no subtitles displayed. The information on the mp4 videos says 3GPP timed text subtitles.

Hi,
can you share a sample clip?
HI, I wasn't sure if you are asking for a link to one of the videos? I can't post a link on the forum yet, but if you go to jw.org under videos at the bottom of the page you can select any of the newer videos and it should have an option for subtitles.
I selected the subtitles box under the video and then downloaded it with Google Chrome onto my Android tablet.
It shows under info on mx player that stream #3 has subtitles codes 3gpp timed text subtitle. 72 bits/sec, english
If that's not what you meant by clips please let me know. Thanks
