This is a followup question to this question:
In order to play video files with a sub title file on MacOS 10.13.6: How to install mplayer so that I am able to use subtitles (when using the command-line version of mplayer?
Addendum
I followed the suggestion made in the other post:
brew uninstall mplayer
brew reinstall freetype
brew reinstall fontconfig
brew install --build-from-source mplayer
The last command provoked an error:
Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on High Sierra.
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
and so I did install the Command Line Tools. Then I repeated the mplayer install command. It was installed with the following configure line:
./configure --cc=clang --host-cc=clang --disable-cdparanoia --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/mplayer/1.3.0 --disable-x11
and then running the command as follows
mplayer testvideo.mkv -sub SubTest.srt
with the content of SubTest.srt as follows:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
<font face="Arial" size="50" color="#425aa0"><b>TEST TEXT</b></font>
does NOT show any subtitle, nor any error.
The output of brew info mplayeris:
mplayer: stable 1.3.0 (bottled), HEAD

What else can I try? I rather would not like to install and use a virtual box ...
