hi to all,
i am wondering whether mx player developers could program the app so that it can search and auto-load subtitle files from local/sd folder in our android tablets or phones. this is an important feature when users stream video content from dlna servers that do not expose the subtitle files together with the video files. thus the subtitle could not played together with the video files.
this means users have to specify which folder in the local/sd storage the subtitles are stored in the mx player preferences. the subtitle files (srt files for example) have to be named the same as the names of the video files.
eg:
movie01.mp4 (streaming from dlna)
movie01.srt (local/sd folder in our tablet/phone)
i am not sure whether there are others experiencing this issue before but it there are any, this feature will be a great addition to mx player's long list of strong capabilities right now. thanks you.

It's already there.
By default MX Player uses <path of internal sdcard>/Subtitles (e.g: /storage/emulated/0/Subtitles)
you can easily change it from the Settings >> Subtitle >> Subtitle Folder
If any matching subtitles are found in subtitles folder MX Player will automatically load

Hi guys, I'm currently watching something which I know already has embedded subtitles within the file. But when I go to the "Subtitle" option I only see options to find subtitle files (which doesn't help me because the srt is already embedded) or online subtitles, screenshot is pictured. An option to automatically show/switch off showing imbedded subtitles if it has them would be great. Cheers.

MX Player will automatically detect embedded Subtitles & external Subtitles ( if the name is same as video). Can you provide a bug report or sample file..?
Hi. I want to load SUP subtitle files that doesn't contained in the video file, but MX Player won't show SUP files when selecting a external subtitle file. Since MX Player works well with SUP subtitles that contained in the video file, I think it won't be very hard to add this support. Thanks.
Plus: SUP subtitle file is described as “Picture based subtitle format used on BDs/HD-DVDs” in MX Player. Video files that contained a SUP subtitle file in it will shows a “PGS (Presentation Graphic Stream)” icon beside the file name.
MX Player is popular in Android TVs, nowadays.
This site "https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/features" says MX Player does support "text styling and coloring script", but it does not explain how or which format of the subtitle this assertion was meant to be. Perhaps, it means SSA may be, but certainly not in SRT format.
I mean, MX Player does support displaying SRT file format subtitle, but refuse to display according to instruction tags on the text line, such as <i>...</i>, {\fs12\fnCalibri}, <font color=#AAAAAAFF>....</font>, etc.
I like helping community to translate and sync subtitles, and I find SRT being most popular.
I really hope MX Player would considering in supporting SRT text styling and coloring scripts, so that what appears on PC (VLC, Codec Home Media Player, etc) may also appear on the Android TVs using MX Player.
Kindly share a sample subtitle. It will help us to investigate further.
Could you fix the subtitles bug? When some files has subtitles inside of them (not srt file separate) the player don't show. As an example I have Zack Snyder Justice League and the TV Show Falcon and the Winter Soldier (torrent files).
I know its something wrong because: 1) Other players can use the file subtitle. 2) Extracting the subtitle as .srt and opening with Mx Player Pro makes them work as it should.
Thanks for your attention

PS: The problem isn't with subtitle coding because when I extract subtitles with programs in my Computer and save as .srt they work fine with Android. The same thing happens with Android TV.
Hi, I have an issue with MX Player on Android 9, LG G6 phone when trying to view files recorded by Panasonic TX-65HX820E.
I use BubbleUPnP (or DMS Explorer with the same result) to find the files but when I open a file there's a message in MX Player 'Can't play this link'.
I've found that using BubbleUPnP browser the VCL Player on Android can open files recorded by my TV but it can't seek inside files.
Also MX Player can open other files hosted by my TV by in MP4 format.
Example link to file shown by BubbleUPnP:
http://192.168.0.140:7501/VIDEO-He883dbe09a3b09d4ccbb3458c1e25d7e3d3cad7fb89ea28b85a8dc9edd83bdfd-7400447536a710edbe2de2277af0f64f00000013
File is downloaded on my phone without extension. But when I change extension to mp4 or avi it can be opened by MX Player correctly.
MX Player in information shows that media format is MPEG-TS (MPEG-2 Transport steam). VLC shows that codec is H264-MPEG-4 AVC (part 10).
Example link to the same file on Windows Media Player:
http://192.168.0.140:7501/VIDEO-He883dbe09a3b09d4ccbb3458c1e25d7e3d3cad7fb89ea28b85a8dc9edd83bdfd-7400447536a710edbe2de2277af0f64f00000013?WMContentFeatures=DLNA.ORG_OP=10;DLNA.ORG_CI=0;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01100000000000000000000000000000&WMHME=1&HMEExt=.tts&WMDuration=14940000000&WMHMETitle=SwBsAHUAYgAgAHAAcgB6AHkAagBhAGMAaQDzAEIBIABNAHkAcwB6AGsAaQAgAE0AaQBrAGkA
And on Windows the file is downloaded with tts extension.
I think that the problem is that the files recorded by my TV doesn't have any extension and MX Player doesn't recognize them correctly.
Is there some workaround in MX Player settings to handle it or it could be fixed in the code?
