How to use a Subtitle on the new XBOX Video app on 8.1

[edwaine]

How can I use this feature?

Does this support .srt and .mkv files?

I just noticed this. It doesn't work when I try with mp4 and srt. Curious how it works.

Xbox video on wp8.1 is horrible loading takes forever, you can't FF/RW and there's a delete glitch that keeps the video even after you deleted it...

What sub file extension (.srt,.idx,.mkv,etc...) did you use in order for it to work?

the extension itself was sub ....... .

 

[edwaine]

the extension itself was sub ....... .

Does that mean I can rename the .srt file to .sub? Or should I find first a program to recode the file?

The latter one....

It is off-topic, the OP is asking about another theme.

I just downloaded a movie and also downloaded subtittle from net...I copied both of them in a folder
In my memory card...now how can I play that with subtitles using Xbox video? Is there any options????

Didn't had any luck getting subtitles to work.
1) What was the video container format that worked (avi, mp4, m4v, wmv, mov)
2) What was the subtitle format that worked (srt, sub, vob)

Additionally, are you running on older hardware (920, 925, 820, 1020, etc. ) or newer hardware (630, 930, Icon, 1520).
Thanks, still trying to figure this out. Or we could just wait for VLC :/

Place the video, and an srt file using the same name with the language listed. For example: Movie.mp4 Movie.en.srt. Then you'll be able to toggle the subtitle on. That's how it worked for me.

Xbox video is not available in India. Is it possible to see personal (preloaded by own) video with subtitles? If yes then how ?

Weird they should be displaying. Maybe there is an issue with your subtitles file? :/
