[Feature Request] prefer external over embedded subs option - MX Player

Media Player Classic Home Cinema has an option I'd like to see in MX Player.
"Prefer external subtitles over embedded subtitles"
I get tired of switching to external subs when I watch several videos that all have both external and embedded subs.

request: Player play Subtitle Movie

request: Player play Subtitle Movie and movie
help me
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 CorePlayerâ„¢ 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

Feature Request: Subtitle/Lyrics Support

MX Player is a good apps for playing video files. It support many video formats and subtitles.
MX Player also capable plying audio files. But I think, MX Player still lacks of feature as music player. One of them is, lyrics feature.
The lyrics can came from metadata tag from the audio file itself, or just like video subtitle (searching subtitle files in the file folder).
I hope MX Player will be able to show plain lyrics (.txt) and also lyrics with timestamp (.lrc) and common subtitles (.srt, .ass) while playing audio files.
Thank you.
MX Player is primarily a video player. If you want audio player features, you should go with something like Poweramp Music Player.

Thank you very much!!

Need suggestion for MX player pro and MKV with embedded subtitle

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?

Feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks
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.

Use external subtitle bu default (instead of embedded)

How can I force MX Player Pro 1.8.8 to always display the external subtitle only, instead of MKV embedded subtitles ?
Looks like lately many MKV files have embedde subtitles - mostly English.
Even tough I have selected Settings > Subtitle > Prefered language: Romanian > I still get the embedded subtitle instead of external one.
I have to go to Subtitles bubble icon, de-select internal, select external, play....

. The issue is that external subtitle language cannot be detected. Embedded subtitles can have language tag to distinguish between multiple subtitles. So, Preferred subtitles language won't work in this occasion.

All right.
But is there a way to prefer external subtitles over internal ones ?
Regardless of language ?
I think some older versions of MX Player had an option to enable/disable embedded subtitles completely.
Of course, I can remove internal subtitles using mkvtoolnix, but I don't always have the time to check the files and remove subtitles.
Occurs that embedded subs that comes in tv shows, always comes in the same language of the show.. resuming, are closed captions. In that case, external subs are prefered as default.
