I use Ubuntu 18.04 with VLC 3.0.7. Since some time ago, I am not able to automatically download subtitles through VLC. I have to use the Click here to open the file option in the error dialogue and download them using Firefox. The subtitles were supposed to be automatically downloaded to the folder in which the video file is located.
I tried setting folder permissions using chmod as 777 and 755. Both failed. Any help will be great.
The problem is that videoplayers in Ubuntu have a problem with integrated central european subtitles.The solution is to extract them. Does anyone knows if there is a command in the terminal or a program to extract the subtitle from a mkv file?
I tried adding subtitles to a video with gsubedit (gnome subtitles), but it's showing the subtitles as gibberish and also I opened the file and saw there gibrish.
I used the subtitle also in windows there they were in Hebrew, how can I make Ubuntu show my subtitles in Hebrew?
Thanks for helping! (:
My TV can only play subtitles if they are embedded into the file (eg a MKV or hardcoded over the video).
So given a film in a format (eg MP4) and a subtitle as something like a SRT, how can I combine them into something my TV can play?
I have a subtitle file that is about 3 to 4 seconds behind. What tools can I use to automatically move all the times in the subtitle file so they are correct with the time of the movie? Something that I can for example just add the time I want to add and it will add this time to the synced times in the subtitle files without having to edit each line individually.
