hi
I have an annoying problem with Smplayer.
I run a samba on my network. my movie with external srt subtitle (with the same as mkv) is on that.
Smplayer Play video but it can't load external srt subtitle from samba but other players ( like VLC) can do that correctly.
when I copy file and subtitle on my system everything's fine
anybody knows any solution for this problem
I use Kubuntu 18.04 and Smplayer 18.2.2

Maybe it's a problem of the kde file manager. I tested on Ubuntu with nautilus and it works fine, the samba folder is mounted in the file system, so both mpv and mplayer can load the subtitles.

The KDE file manager passes the video path as a smb:// URL. I think in that case mpv doesn't autoload subtitles.
Nautilus mounts the samba share and passes the video path as a regular file, so mpv can autoload subtitles.
So the problem is that mpv can't autoload subtitles when using a smb:// URL.

Do you get any error when you try to load the subtitle manually?

Then it's probably a bug in mpv.
You can try to change the "multimedia engine" (preferences -> general) from mpv to mplayer.

Then I guess the easier solution would be to mount the samba share into the file system.
