VLC crashes when choosing external subtitles

by sherpajosh

Ever since the redesign from a couple of weeks ago, I cannot load any external subtitles. Whenever I choose select subtitle file, VLC either crashes or a window overlay says loading sits doing nothing. Is there any fix for this?

Is there a good alternative to VLC? I'm not looking for a media library app like Plex or Kodi, just a simple media player that has subtitles support and can increase play speed.

Try Nova Video Player. It's in the Play Store.

It's open source too.

I do believe that VLC just put out another update in the last day or two. Might want to check that.

A bit offtopic. Does autoplay next episode work for you guys? Vlc or novaplayer

Try Mpv player

Did you try to wipe the cash , uninstall the app , reboot then reinstall vlc ?
