HI Tung,
What kind of issue with subtitles are you experiencing? I did a quick test with YouTube video and self-hosted subtitles and it went fine.
Thanks,
Eduard
My shortcode:
[fvplayer src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqyT8IEBkvY" width="960" height="540" loop="true" subtitles_en="http://bbland.lo/bruno.vtt" caption="BBLand - 24K Magic" splash="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UqyT8IEBkvY/hqdefault.jpg"]
But it’s not working (check my attachment)
Hi Tung,
Your shortcode is ok, but I can’t reach the address “http://bbland.lo/bruno.vtt” or even “http://bbland.lo”. Try to reupload your subtitles to another server where they will be accessible.
Thanks,
Eduard
That’s localhost files.
My subtitles is like:1
00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:04.215
Bruno Mars – 24K Magic Official Music Video.2
00:00:04.215 –> 00:00:08.561
Subtitle By – Rahul Solanki.3
00:00:09.000 –> 00:00:12.000
Throw your hands up in the sky4
00:00:13.000 –> 00:00:21.500
Let’s set this party off right5
00:00:21.501 –> 00:00:26.000
Players, put yo’ pinky rings up to the moon….
Hello Tung,
please double check that your FV Player Pro plugin is enabled. In your shortcode it looks like you have it enabled, but the screenshot looks like it’s not there.
Also in your VTT file make sure you are using
-->as shown in Step 1 in our documentation: https://foliovision.com/player/advanced/subtitlesThe subtitles which you pasted use “–>” instead.
Thanks,

Hello, I was wondering if I could add a language to the ones that are being populated in the video wizard. Right now, I want to have the option for Simplified Chinese and another option for traditional Chinese. As of right now, there is only one Chinese option.
Hi Peter!
Have you tried option “add another language” in the shortcode editor? I see as a language tag you can only select Chinese. We will discuss option of adding Simplified Chinese tag and Traditional Chinese tag.
Thanks,
Lucia
Is there a table in the WordPress DB that the plugin is drawing the language choices? Maybe I can just add another record for another Chinese language choice? Or is it coded somewhere in the plugin, where I can just add it in until the next update?
Hello Peter,
we added support for Simplified Chinese. You will find it in the list as Chinese (Simplified).
This new addition will go out in the next plugin release, or you can reinstall FV Player from: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with out plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.
Thanks,
Martin
I have downloaded the vtt file from Youtube, it works great but for one thing, the timing is out with the dialogue, do you know how to fix this of any-other solution?
Hi Tony!
If you know how much – time wise – you want to move subtitles you can try using this online tool that will synchronise your subtitles.
Thanks,
Lucia
The open source Subtitle Edit (http://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit/) can save VTT. Just open your srt and save as ‘WebVTT File with#’
Hello Ákos,
thank you for sharing an advice on srt conversion!
Thanks,
Martin

Hi bader m.!
We haven’t noticed any issues with subtitles on mobile (android 8.1). Could you send us a link to a video where we can see the issue plus the device/OS/browser you are using?

Hello Arfkadiusz
Is your .vtt file in right format?
Also, please make sure it is encoded in UTF-8.
