Meanwhile, subtitle support hasn't been working for weeks. And it still takes 5-6 clicks to even download a subtitle, while on other players it's either automatic or 1 click away. Why does the VLC team care so little about subtitles? This could be trivial to fix with a small UI change, yet it would have a big impact on people who need subtitles.
- noja 10y agoIt's an open source project, feel free to patch!
- jeremiep 10y agoIts open-source, nothing prevents you from stepping in and fixing it yourself. I had no problems with subtitles, and can't find any issue related to it that isn't years old. I'd say if there's an issue its either unknown or low priority from the low demand to fix it.
- jbk 10y agoIt is already fixed, in all nightly builds. Just download a build from there :)
- voltagex_ 10y agoVLC probably has a lower barrier to entry than some projects, but this advice still grates every time I hear it. There's a lot of things that could potentially stop someone contributing to VLC, even the ability to build it from source.
- pedrogpimenta 10y agoYou are downloading subtitles through VLC?? How?! I have had no problems with subtitles.
- mdrzn 10y agoVLSub (https://github.com/exebetche/vlsub https://github.com/exebetche/vlsub) was widely used so they decided to integrate it in the official VLC software I guess, since I didn't had to download it last time I formatted my pc and reinstalled VLC.
- jbk 10y agoNo, the subtitles download has been fixed in all nightly builds since a long time. Just download a new lua script or wait next week for the update (2.2.5) that will update the script and a few minor issues.
