VLC is now using a unicode font that can display all Chinese, Korean and Japanese characters correctly. You might need to restart VLC after changing these font settings. If Arial Unicode MS is not in the list, you can download and install it from here Now make sure the font is set to Arial Unicode MS, other unicode fonts should also work. Step 3: expand the Subtitles / OSD item, and select text renderer. Step 2: in the bottom left corner of the preferences screen underneath show settings, select the all radiobutton Step 1: open the VLC settings by pressing Ctrl+ P or by going to Tools > Preferences How do you use subtitles in media player (if you use it at all)? Do you have a better trick to share? Do let me know in the comment.If you are sure the file is encoded in UTF-8 but the subtitles still show up as boxes or weird symbols, you should make sure you are using the right font in VLC. It allows you to watch online videos with subtitles. Since we are discussing subtitles, you may want to check out Penguin subtitle player. It has just one subtitle source: opensubtitle. It saves some time for sure.ĭrawbacks include lack of subtitles sources. You don’t need to go on web looking for a subtitle, download it, extract it and then add it to VLC. In case you are absolute beginner, try the following command to go to the downloaded directory: cd ~/Downloads/vlsub-master/Īnd then copy the file to the extension directory: sudo cp a /usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/ Now move or copy the a file in the above mentioned directory. Use the following command to create the desired directory for vlsub.
For that you need to create the extension directory first. You need to add this file to VLC extension.
