Well. I'm a bit an anime fan. I tried watching an mkv video on my new tablet but it doesn't show any subtitles. There's a label beside the video SSA and I know it is within the video not a separate file. I tried searching for a fix but no luck. When I tried to view it in VLC, the subtitles show up.
How can I enable it or something? I'm kinda new to MX player.

So the stock browser doesn't play M4V embedded subtitles. Booo. I'm thinking either I have to re-encode all my videos and hard sub them or switch to another player that will software decode. No other player seems to support embedded subs though. I have to put SRTs in the same directory.
mVideoPlayer has so far been the best option in order to actually change the size so the subs don't come out tiny.
So:
1. Are there any other players that so far support hardware decoding and also support subtitles? - Don't want to waste battery.
2. Are there any players that support embedded subtitles in an m4v? (not hardsubs)
3. What is the best program for hardsubbing an SRT? I usually use handbrake but it doesn't want to burn in the subs. I want control over the font and shadow too to get decent quality.
please delete
Why should I delete? These are 'on topic' questions that don't have a specific thread to discuss. I'm aware some issues are partially discussed in other threads, but not in this context and no consensus has been reached.

Sorry, the "delete" was for my post, since before my edit, I wrote about mVideoPlayer without realizing you've already tried it...
1. Vplayer
2. I tried a lot, and as far as I remember, none of them was able to find a subtitle track on a mp4 video file.
3. Handbrake. You have first to convert your srt into an ssa file, then merge with mkvmerge the ssa file to the original mkv,
and handbrake will then be able to handburn your srt file. You probably have to apply a patch (I wrote the patch, look for
decssasub.c), because handbrake was not able to handburn srt2ssa converted files.
Hope this help, it's really a pain to watch subtitles movie on a transformer, it does not play straightforward mkv files, you
have to convert them and so one.
Another solution would be to use plex media server, which is able to transcode movie, and which is avoiding the pain to
convert movie files, but unfortunately the plex android client does not support subtitles at this moment.
We're stuck to poor solutions.

Vplayer does not hardware decode. It does seem like a good player though. Managed to get handbrake to burn in using ssa instead of srt subs and bubbled to convert them. Still not great though.

Does anoyone have an answer for my problem? i have .srt files downloaded and they play like they should with mvideoplayer. But when i connect to my tv with hdmi, i see the subtitle on my tablet and not on the tv.
This really is pretty stupid. is there any player or app which can output my subtitles on my tv without me having to "burn them in"?
thats really weird they dont show up on HDMI, maybe the resolution is different?
MX VideoPlayer uses hardware decoding. There're options to choose between that and software decoding. It also has subtitle options (font, size, alignment, etc.).
I used DVDFab to get subtitles to show in a m4v flick. Had to click around with some of the subpicture options and then check it out in the preview screen to see if the subs would show; after a few tries, got the subs to only show up to translate and not during the entire film. Subs also show up in the stock player.
i found that the only way of displaying this subtitles to hdmi is to burn them in with handbrake. But handbrake does not support burn in of .srt files.
Anyone know an alternative which is simple?
mobo player, plus install codec corresponding to your CPU (ARM V6) all from the market.
Then place the .srt with strictly the same file name as you video file, play it with Mobo and subs should just show up.
I tested with lots of video format, including
Thanx for the reply, but do .srt files also show on the HDMI output if they are downloaded?
On the tablet all Works fine.

I'm now re-encoding everything using XviD4PSP which is free and allows you to burn in the subtitiles. Seeing as I'm transcoding most stuff to h264 mainline anyway, I might as well add subs. The main problem is that this software is slower than handbrake. It does accept SRTs though. Jubbler is good for converting and editing subtitile files.
I play using moboplayer and mVideoPlayer. mVideoPlayer plays with hardware decoding and allows you to change the size of SRT subs if you are using SRT. The other players show text too small.
Life would be so much better if stock played embedded subtitles in an m4v though!
I bought my Eee Pad this friday, and I've been trying to get some 720p playback. It seems from searches that .mkv 720p playback isn't possible, so I tried some .mp4 720p files instead. Picture's running great, but when running HW decoding I get no sound - I have tried a bunch of players, I think almost everyone in the market. I've searched the forum, but can't seem to find any solution that works.
Dice Player, YX Player, MoboPlayer, Rockplayer - neither of them does the job.
I find it frustrating, since video playback is one of the main reasons I bought this device.
Check the sound settings of the .mkv and .mp4 files. The transformer doesn't do 5.1 digital. If your files are that type, there are quick programs that can recode just the sound, and leave the video the same(quick, as in 10-20 minutes).

Says it's 6-channel sound, so that must be the problem - which programs should I be looking into?
Also try MX Player...

I did actually try MX Player too - I've tried so many players that I don't remember names on all of them.

I have faced the problem with many files, MX Player usually works if I switch to SW decode. Look for the HW icon on top right, this is a toggle if you press it will switch to SW decode and you should get audio.

Yes, correct - MX Player does give me sound in SW decode, but it also gives me laggy video and sound isn't synced properly.
I just did a conversion using AVIdemux 2.5, to reencode the sound to stereo - plays as supposed to now, sound and smooth image. Took somewhat 20 minutes to reencode a 2½ hour movie.
I have been having the same problems as well iam hoping that they fix it soon
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.

Did you thought about Hard-Subbing the movie?It's fast and easy.
I have downloaded YouTube videos to my LG G4 from PC's "4K Video Downloader". It's an amazing YouTube video downloader. I watch on my phone gallery, But just last month, not sure if the MX player update has messed up that transcribed.srt subtitles not showing on MX Player but the Closed Captions (CC) works well on MX Player. Strangely, VLC player auto detects the subtitles, transcribed.srt as well as CC. Please fix this bug. On my laptop, the media player auto detects either both SRTs without having to search them.
The another frustrating thing is when playing video: Subtitle/Open , select as per the video title.
I had my MX player's subtitle settings working just fine on all videos without bias. Recently I had to uninstall my MX player and reinstall it. After that, I tried to change the subtitle settings by changing the text size and text color. However, not all videos are taking this change into effect. The videos which have SSA subtitles are not taking any kind of modifications in how the subtitles are displayed and showing the default white colored subtitles with default text size. But earlier, before reinstalling, the same videos used to have these customized subtitle settings which I put into effect.
I have tried newer and older versions of MX player but the problem persists.
