i'm using this really amazing video player in ubuntu, i just want to make little change in it's behaviour with subtitles (.srt
files)
Default Behaviour
currently MPV shows subtitles which are hard coded in a video file or srt file which is exactly named as the video file, for eg it'll pick up the subtitle file if the name of video file is video.mkv
and name of the subtitle file is video.srt
, but it won't pick it up if it's different.
What I want to achieve
it should pick up any and all the subtitles which are available in the same folder as the video file, automatically
Best Answer
To provide an actual mpv only answer, you can specify the mechanism by which subtitle tracks are loaded in your mpv.conf file located at
.config/mpv.conf
as explained here in the mpv manual. In your case you would addsub-auto=all
.
