    Hello everyone,

    I have a Z9X and I would like to know if it possible to have multiple external subtitles in a single folder along with the movie file and be able to choose between them from the subtitles menu.

    Right now I have one external subtitle that I name after the movie file. Is it possible to have more and still somehow show in the subtitle menu?

    Yes, even in separate folder. You donĀ“t have to name them same way, you can add the from the movie player.

    Is there a way to name them properly so from the subtitles menu it will show which language it is? Because right now it shows like ext 1 sub.

    I found how to do it. You simply have to add .language after the filename.

    But I have another question. In the quick settings I have chosen external subtitles (without choosing a specific language). The folder of the movie is like this now

    The Day After Tomorrow - 2004.mkv
    The Day After Tomorrow - 2004.Greek.srt
    The Day After Tomorrow - 2004.Russian.srt

    When I start the movie it decides to display the Greek subtitles. Why it decides on that one instead of the other? I mean since I haven't set a specific language what makes it decide to display the Greek ones over the Russian ones since both of them are external and I haven't set on a specific language to show?

    My guess it will pick first in line and G comes before R.

    The subtitle standard also supports using the ISO 2 or 3 letter conventions. So NL, NLD or DUT all will show Dutch as the language.
