any further update on the Subtitle Issue ? anyone has any other fix that you are using, apart from downloading the subs manually and then adding them.

I think Himedia player uses Opensubtitles.org to download and this site is user and password protected for subtitles search for some time now. The fix would be Himedia Player to be configurable with user and password for subtitle search (like Kodi opensubtitles addon) or  search in another site.

The workaround is to use Kodi or MX Player to download the subtitles.

Do you mean ,  use the kodi, without the wrapper  and then i will be able to downlaod the subtitles ?
If thats doable, then post dl the subs,  can we turn on the kodi,with the wrapper now and play the movie and subtitles will be there ?

Yes. Kodi will deposit a subtitle file (usually .srt) in the video folder. This can be used by any media player.

This is a bug that we have repeatedly reported to Himedia. They won't tell us why it hasn't been fixed, but I think the earlier post about Opensubtitles could be correct.

A workaround is to use Kodi to deposit subtitles into the media directory which will then be used by Himediaplayer / wrapper.

So i am using the above method, initially playing the video files throgh kodi, dl subs, and then play the same file with wrapper, and the subs are there :-)

Which version of the OpenSubtitles for Kodi addon are you using? You need to be using the 5.2.14 version.

As all of my movies are in English I don't need subtitles.  I just tried to download some to see what happened and there are plenty to download ... but ALL in Chinese  :o!

If you have Archos Player on you box then you can use that to download the subtitles. It also uses OpenSubtitles but it works. Kodi will then find these subtitles.
