#1

Hi,

I want to use subtitle for movie with .srt format.
Is it possible in OpenSUSE?
Which player is good for this job?

Thanks

mplayer videofile -sub subtitle.srt (you can also use smplayer for this, which is a GUI frontend for mplayer)

if your video file is using an MKV or MP4 container, you can embed the SRT into them… read how to do that in the man pages of mkvmerge and mp4box (from gpac)

Like windows do I use same name for movie and srt file?

mplayer /path/to/movie/name-of-movie -sub /path/to/sub/name-of-subtitle.srt

for example, I have a video file called Robots.avi in /home/neutrino/Video directory and a subtitle called English.srt, also in /home/neutrino/Video. So I do in a console:

mplayer /home/neutrino/Video/Robot.avi -sub /home/neutrino/Video/English.srt

that isn’t rocket science, is it? :wink:

Thanks for reply.
Just one more question.
I want to use TV for watching movie.
Windows can detect the TV itself. What can I do for OpenSuse?

Analog or digital TV? For analog, there are stand-alone programs like xawtv and ktv (which I package in my repo, see signature below). mplayer can also play both analog and digital TV,

mplayer tv://
mplayer dvb://

you have to refer to the manual page of mplayer for more options. Also others like Kaffeine and Xine also support TV playback
