Guide on how to Show or Hide a subtitle in Potplayer while a video playback.
- OS : Microsoft Windows 10 x64
- Software : Potplayer 1.7.21396
Its a good practice to rename the subtitle files with same name as the video file followed by subtitle language. This makes it a lot easier for Potplayer to load the subtitle file when the video file is being played. Also it looks much organized.
Example : If the name of the video file is Star wars, then the subtitle files should be named
- English subtitle : Star wars.Eng, Star wars.English, Star wars.English 1
- Italian subtitle : Star wars.Ita, Star wars.Ita 1, Star wars.Ita 2
- Russian subtitle : Star wars.rus, Star wars.Russian, Star wars_Russian
- French subtitle : Star wars.French
Loading the subtitle file
One of the First thing Potplayer does is search and load subtitles when a video file is played.
- Subtitles which are embedded in a video file automatically get loaded in Potplayer when it is played.
- Potplayer also automatically loads external subtitles according to the settings done by the user and adds it to a list of subtitles when a video file is played.
- User can also manually add external subtitles using Potplayer menu. To do so select Subtitles > Add/Select Subtitles > Add Subtitle. Search and select a subtitle file using File Explorer.
Selecting a subtitle track
When multiple subtitle tracks has been loaded, the next task is to select a subtitle to be shown along with the video file. Potplayer will automatically select a subtitle file according to the setting done by the user.
Additionally user can manually select a subtitle track when Potplayer fails to select a proper subtitle.
To manually select a subtitle track for showing do the followings:
- Select Subtitles > Add/Select Subtitles.
- Select a Subtitle track from the list of loaded subtitles. Check each loaded subtitles to find out which one is correct.
