Hello,
In FV player pro we turned off the general setting that subtitles show by default.
Still I would need to have individual videos load the subtitle files upon player loading. Is there a parameter to add to the shortcode for that? That would be super helpful! Thank you!

Hello Michael,
Please let us know more about your use case. Then we can build together something that will be sensible and will provide a benefit for all the users.
Perhaps what you really need is to only show subtitles automatically on videos which are not in English.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
We have a multi language site (10 languages).
In the main language (English) we also offer transcripts and subtitles, for those who want to listen to English and also read the English subtitles, instead of only listening in English. But, not everyone likes to always have the subtitle on as well, so we disabled to show them by default. The user can choose.In secondary languages, we mostly serve the secondary audio, but sometimes we serve the English original Video/audio, with ONLY sub title files in the respective second language available. Only for those videos, that really need the subtitle file to be showing by default, do we want to enable displaying of subtitle files by default. So users, don’t get confused, why suddenly the audio is in English, and even if they figure out, that there might be a sub title file available, they don’t need to click it each and every time.
Adding something, like sub-title=”always-on” in the shortcode?
Hello Michael,
Do you post a separate version of the video for each language?
Or is it a HLS stream with multiple language audio tracks – so it’s the same video URL for all languages?
Please let us know as if possible we would like to check what languages the video has, what language version of website is the user viewing and automatically show the subtitles based on that.
That way you wouldn’t have to post the video for each language separately.
Thanks,
Martin
