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.

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.
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
Can you see embedded DVD Subtitles (Vobsub) in mkv video files ?
I didn't manage to do it because, even if MX Player recognised the differents streams, including the DVD subtitles, I couldn't select the subtitles in menu (as if there was no subtitles stream).
I had :
- to extract the subtitles from the mkv file (.idx and .sub)
- to reencode them in SRT format by using an OCR online service
- to replace the Vobsub subtitles by the SRT ones in the mkv video file.
Can you share an easier solution, it there is one, please ?
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
This thing has been bugging me for a while, and just now I decided to gather enough info to be able to describe the issue properly.
The effect of the issue is that all the media i play back from my Serviio DLNA server on MX Player on my Android TV is named "ORIGINAL" as far as MX Player is considered — at least with regards to subtitles. If I pause playback, the top left corner will display the actual filename, e.g. "My Cool Video.mkv," but MX Player will suggest "ORIGINAL" as title when searching for online subtitles. I then have to manually correct the title to whatever the correct one is, and search for it. It will then download those subtitles as "ORIGINAL.srt," and play them back correctly.
However, as the next video that I play back is also seen by MX Player as having the name "ORIGINAL," it'll load those same subtitles download before that now don't match and that's no fun. Fetching correct subtitles online will overwrite the previous subtitles, etc.
I suspected the issue might be with how Serviio presents the media files, and surely enough, I can see that DLNA URLs are all of the form http://192.168.7.100:8895/resource/40385/MEDIA_ITEM/MATROSKA-0/ORIGINAL.
But, clearly, MX Player has access to more information than this, seeing as how it displays the actual filename in its UI. Am I wrong in assuming this is a problem on MX Player's end?
BTW, this combo of UPnPlay and MX Player on Android TV is friggin' awesome. Beats Kodi every day, MX Player is fantastic!
Cheers,
