Hello darkemo07! I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot the issue with VLC subtitles not working. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1. Make sure that the subtitle file is in the same folder and has the same name as the video file. For example, if your video file is "movie.mp4", the subtitle file should be named "movie.srt" or "movie.sub".

2. Check if the subtitle file format is supported by VLC. VLC supports various subtitle formats such as SRT, SUB, SSA, and more. If your subtitle file is in an unsupported format, you may need to convert it to a compatible format.

3. In VLC, go to "Subtitle" in the menu bar and make sure that the subtitle track is enabled. You can also try selecting a different subtitle track if there are multiple options available.

4. Check the encoding of the subtitle file. Sometimes, subtitles may not display correctly due to encoding issues. Try changing the subtitle file's encoding to UTF-8 or another compatible encoding.

5. Update VLC to the latest version. Outdated software may have bugs that can cause issues with subtitles. Updating VLC to the latest version can help resolve such issues.

6. If none of the above steps work, you can try using a different media player to see if the subtitles work correctly there. This can help determine if the issue is specific to VLC or if there is a problem with the subtitle file itself.

I hope these suggestions help you get your subtitles working in VLC. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need further assistance!
