However, some users have posted on VLC’s forum about VLC media player’s custom subtitles not working, with subtitles not showing for videos played. So, those users can’t watch videos with subtitles in VLC.

What can I do if subtitles are not showing in VLC?

1. Check subtitle settings in VLC

2. Reset VLC

3. Check the SRT file title matches its video’s filename

4. Convert the SRT file to UTF-8 encoding

5. Download new subtitle files

That’s how you can fix VLC subtitles not working when VLC does not show subtitles. Remember, however, that there are also other freeware media players you can play videos with subtitles with if the above resolutions aren’t enough.
