Play *.srt subtitles in Windows Media Player?

Question

Is there a way to play *.srt subtitles in Windows Media Player?

I've followed the instructions in this, by installing DirectVobSub and renaming the srt file to match the video filename, but the subtitles don't show up, WMP is configured to show subs when available.

What's the file type of the video file you're trying to show subtitles for?

On which version of WMP and Windows? If you're running the 64-bit WMP, you'll need the 64-bit version of DirectVobSub as well.

Change your subtitle file to exact name as your media name but keep the extension.

Example: 2 files are abc.avi and xyz.srt.

Change xyz.srt to abc.srt.

Now play the abc.avi in Windows Media Player. Right click on the playing windows, check the subtitle setting.

Use the latest version of DirectVobSub and try changing your .srt to a .sub file. It worked for me.

I got it through this link.

Another solution to that problem is Local Subtitles for WMP. It does not brak codecs pipeline.
