It would be very useful that when you search for subtitles in opensubtitles.org, save the file with the language suffix. For example movie.en.srt or movie.fr.srt. Also, once you download the file,It should be automatically loaded Andrés checked in the subtitle panel. In this way, the loading of subtitles in multiple languages at once is speeded up.

Generally, default subtitle tracks are specified by the video file. Is it possible to add a feature so that you can set MX to prefer a subtitle stream with a specified language, similar to how you can set it to prefer an audio language?
I believe for audio it matches the entered preference to the mediainfo language flag for the stream. Subtitles usually have a language flag as well, so that could be matched too?

This feature was planned for 2.0, But I will be able to pull it forward
Awesome, didn't know that, but that's even better!
XBMC generated subtitle filenames support
Not sure if my request requires a new topic, but I think this is more an enhancement of the above's feature request.
I would like multi-language subtitle support to also do .srt files downloaded/generated by XBMC ( which is to be named 'Kodi' for version 14 b.t.w. ).
This is about the subtitle filename convention, for example filename.en.srt, filename.nl.srt or filename.de.srt, where the applicable language is embedded in the subtitle's filename.
Right now, MX Player does not pick up on those localized subtitle files. And opening an optional subtitle MX Player does not work because MX Player wants to pick it from the local Android device, and not from the network path/share that the video is coming from.
So for now I'm stuck on temporarily renaming the subtitle files on my network share before I can watch them on my Android device...
Hoping for a good solution for this 'issue'

This will be supported after MX supports network browsing.
This is a limitation of current implemenation, because MX does not have ability to browse files in servers.

This is exactly the feature I am trying to request, really looking forward to it!
Hi,
I have MKV file, where the subtitle track has this flags set.
Default : Yes
Forced : Yes
But even when the subtitle is marked as forced they are not selected when start the playback and need to be activated manual. Is there any other way how to force the subtitle to be started automatic?
Very strange case, I havent tried this before.
Try changing
Settings>subtitles>enable embedded subtitles
Have you seen this? It should be fixed in the current version, at least it works for me - unless you have embedded subtitle loading disabled.
Hi, thank you, enabling the settings automatical load subtitles, but all that are marked as default. This is not wanted behaviour. I would like, that the normal subtitles are not showed automatic, but only the ones that are marked as forced (this are usually translations of labels on screen, when somebody intentionally talk foreign language, etc.) Thank you
Are your subtitle language preferences getting in the way? Settings > Subtitles > Preferred subtitle language
I couldn't find this request on the forums so I'm posting it myself. I would like to see the ability for MX player to detect subtitles based on the language code. Both 3 letter and 2 letter codes would be ideal. E.g. movie.nl.srt or movie.dut.srt (both dutch).
Right now I have multiple subtitles and when I play a video it loads (what seems to be) a random one, but only one and ignores the rest.
You can't find the feature request, because the feature already exists!
Settings -> Subtitle -> Preferred subtitle language
Enter the ISO 2 letter code.
Well it seems to work a bit weird. I'd like it to parse every subtitle in the main folder based upon language code. Right now it just picks one randomly it seems.
Example: (main folder contains movie.mp4, movie.nl.srt and movie.en.srt
Scenario 1: The preferred subtitle language is blank. > It picks a random subtitle.
Scenario 2: The preferred subtitle language is en, nl > It picks English and nothing else.
Scenario 3: The preferred subtitle language is nl, en > It picks English again, and nothing else.
Scenario 4: The preferred subtitle language is nl > It picks Dutch and nothing else.
I'd like it to detect both and give me the choice to pick/switch during playback by pressing the subtitle icon.
Aside from the file name, in the media info of these subtitle files, does the meta data have language flags set?
What do you mean ? the video file doesn't have any internal subs. All externall srt's.

@bleu8888 could you take a look at MX's behaviour for external language subs?

I've checked again but can't reproduce it.
Did you resume from previous playback?
And then last selected subtitles will be used. You should start over a new video to load correct subtitle.
I don't 'resume from playback'. When I tested, I closed MX Player then replayed the movie (from start). When 'Preferred subtitle language' is empty, it usually picks the english one, possibly because of the alphabetical order ('en' comes before 'nl'). Nevertheless, it always only loads 1 subtitle.
This isn't the case with mkv's which have internal subs. These show all available subtitle when I hit the subtitle icon during playback. It even has the proper language name. (English, Dutch, Whatever).
But with external srt files there is alway only 1 loaded and when I click the subtitle icon it shows that 'movie.srt' is loaded (notice it has ommited the language tag from the filename)
I use ES File Explorer to open the files. File location is a local samba share. My device is a Moto Razr I (xt890) and I have the x86 codec pack installed and also using the latest custom codec pack from the forums.

Just curious, does the issue occur if all the external .srt are stored directly on the phone?
I just tested it by copying 3 files to my internal drive. It seems to work fine ! Even when 'Preferred Subtitles Language' is empty. It detect both (all) languages and parses the language code into the language name (Dutch, English, etc). And I can switch between both during playback.
Is there any way to have this working with samba ? I guess with samba the subtitle gets send like some kind of stream and therefore MX player doesn't have all the info about the language and other folder contents.
I guess my feature request now is to have this working over samba too, at least with ES File Explorer.
Indeed, currently SMB is done with other apps passing the URI to MX. If something isn't passed, MX will make a predictive request. In the feature requests list, SMB support is already there, and the developer is aware and has plans to implement something.
Is there any update on this? I know its on the feature request list with HIGH prio but is there for a long time now. Since Es File Explorer become "the fallen king", the SMB capabilities of MX Player are needed more than ever.
Yeah I still want this badly too. I also noticed that from all the file managers I've tested, only ES file explorer passes subtitles to MX player. Others don't.
There was a time that MX player will auto load subtitle that is in the same folder as the movie file, and it is gone now. It does have a option for saving the subtitle file in a specific folder. However, I found this is really hard to do as there are so many exact step to do. Image how am I suppose to do it if I want to watch a movie in my TV system through my USB? In a TV system it is really hard to find the directory.
Therefore, I really wish that this functionality can be back! I suggest that there is an option for disable the embedded subtitle and set the external subtitle as priority.
Please tell me if there is any suggestion! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback.
The settings was removed as a part of simplifying the options. We have understood the troubles involved in selecting an external sub. We will change the subtitle selection logic to prefer the external subtitle over the muxed one.

Thank you, can you tell me a estimating time for a newer version that fix this problem? Just easier for me to check mxplayer's website on schedule.

MX player has inbuilt version checking mechanism. So no need to worry about that.
At the moment our developers are busy in bringing more features on board. So, I can't give any ETA at the moment.
Please bring back the global disable subtitles option. Wife is not happy that she has to keep disabling a subtitle for each video she plays. I'd rather have more options then not enough options.

Hi,
You can just uncheck the subtitle from the subtitle panel to disable.
If it's not disabled, there can be two reasons.
In Some devices HW decoder renders subtitles automatically due to the poor mediaplayer implementation. It automatically displays the closed captions. Either you can disable closed captions from system settings or you can use HW+ or SW decoder.
It's hard coded to the video frame itself. There is no way to to get rid of it as it's a part of the video frame.
When movie are started from apps like cartoonhd, scroll to subtitle search function not highlighted, thus unable to search for subtitle. However, if a local movie file is selected and played, the search function is highlighted and able to search. Hope the developer can fix the bug.
