I’m using Kaffeine 1.0-svn3 from Packman repo on openSuse 11.2 with KDE 4.3.5.
In Kaffeine, I can not find the menu where I can choose the subtitles. (I want to watch an avi-file with a separate subtitle-file in srt format)
With openSuse 11.0, KDE 3.5.8. and an older version of Kaffeine, there was a possibility to select subtitle files (srt).
Can somebody point me in the right direction pls?
The KDE4-version of Kaffeine is stable, but feature-wise under heavy development, many funtions are still lacking.
I recommend using SMPlayer, which features extensive options for configuring separate subtitles such as .srt and .sub. - it is even able to fetch multilingual subtitles from opensubtitles.org, which is really cool.
One more annotation on Kaffeine which I forgot to write down; it actually is able to include subtitles (see bottom of the Kaffeine-window, there’s a respective dropdown-menu), but it is not possible to point Kaffeine to a subtitle which is outside the medias folder. Also I do not see a way to configure the font, colour, size, delay, shortcuts etc.
I can see the dropbox but there is nothing written in it, it is grey and it can not be used/opened.

You are right - it used to work at some time (can’t be more precise, I hardly use Kaffeine) and now it does not. So why not giving SMPlayer a shot?
I did. It works. Thanks for the advice.
