VLC doesn't show subtitle automaticly under Linux

The thing is this, the avi file can be played by VLC media player and if you have the subtitle file (.srt) in the same folder with the same name beside the avi file then it should be read by VLC media player automaticly. But not always, for example mine under Linux refused to add it to the movie. Here is the way to do it manualy :

You click on open file, you specify the video file, then you click on use subtitle file, and then specify the subtitle file, it does not have to have the same name, as long as you specify the correct path

also, the subtitles file might be wrong, try to open it with a text editor and check its contents.

also try opening another subtitles, just to make sure that the subtitles file is not corrupted/worng.

How to install the RealPlayer (Multimedia Player)

A little bit Linux info, I post all the information that I find useful for myself while being a newbie to Ubuntu ( LINUX ), so this is how to install realplayer on Ubuntu. Enjoy it ... Source mentioned at the end.

Download the Realplayer .bin file from http://www.real.com/linux Im
Installation Instructions - Ensure that the .bin file you downloaded is executable. You can make the .bin file executable by running the
"chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD-Linux.bin" ( file name can change during different versions plus always you can use TAB button to auto complete your commands. Like you just write R and then press TAB button and linux will complete it for you )

after running the command from a terminal window. - Run the .bin file by typing "./RealPlayer10GOLD-Linux.bin"


Enjoy Realplayer :-)
