The VLC player has all kinds of different configurations to be able to adapt it completely to our liking. In case we have modified many of them it is possible that we have enabled something that is interfering with the reproduction of the subtitles. To solve it we can manually revert all the changes made or reset the VLC preferences. We click on the Choose files button and select the SRT file. Next, we click on the «Convert to UFT-8» button and finally we click on the «Download» button and save it again in the same folder as the video. With the new file open VLC, click on the “Subtitle” and “Add subtitles file” tab. We select the new file and check that it plays correctly. In case the content of the subtitle file is not read correctly, we must open the Convert files to UTF-8 page from a browser by clicking on this link to the developers’ website. To check this, we right-click on the subtitle file, click on Open with and Choose another application. We select Notepad and verify that the content of the text it includes is correct. We must also select the “Automatic” option in the “Font size” drop-down menu and make sure that the “Force subtitles position” option is set to 0px. In addition, we must select simple white in the option “Default color” of the text in case it is configured differently. Finally, we press the “Save” button and restart the application.Īlso, for the SRT file to exactly match the video file name and both be in the same location, the SRT file needs to be encoded in UTF-8.
The first thing to do is start VLC and access its “Preferences” section. We can do this by clicking on the “Tools” tab at the top and then on the “Preferences” option, or by using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + P”. Later, we click on the “Subtitles / OSD” tab and check the “Enable subtitles” box. Next, we are going to see different ways that we can carry out to be able to solve any subtitle playback problem in our VLC Media Player. Ways to fix the problem with the subtitle playback These are the main causes why our VLC player is not able to reproduce the subtitles, something to which we are going to try to solve it with some actions that we can carry out. The subtitle files that we have downloaded are broken or corrupted, so they cannot be accepted so they cannot be accepted by the player.We have not set the correct font on the player: using the wrong font may not be compatible with the player’s settings.
This will open a small window that you will find you cannot move anywhere. Now, go to View>Subtitle Lite on the toolbar. The subtitles are not encoded correctly on our PC: this means that they do not use the specific format or codec such as UTF-8 text encoding, which means that they cannot be displayed. Open the video you want to play and use VLC player’s built-in option to play the initial subtitle file.
