Codec Tweak Tool > Settings > Reset

If it still does not work after that, then I need more information about the file that you are playing.

Hello !!!
I did Codec Tweak Tool > Settings > Reset
Result: MPC does not display substitles..... VLC does. Next, the first 12 subtitles of the .SRT file:

1
<i>It's cold this morning, Captain.</i>

2
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:48,300
<i>Cold.</i>

3
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,180
<i>And hard.</i>

4
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:21,040
<i>It's time, Captain.</i>

5
00:02:23,290 --> 00:02:26,540
<i>It's time.</i>

6
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:30,380
<i>Time indeed.</i>

7
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,520
You're supposed
to be upstairs sleeping.

8
00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:57,780
- Stanley keeps waking me up.
- Oh, I get it...

9
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:02,070
- You're getting heavy.
- No nonsense.

11
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,080
Two stories. Two glasses of water.
Jack...

12
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,830
- You're going to miss the plane.
- Go upstairs with Mrs. Wheeler.

Hello !!!!

I found this is just happening with THIS particular .SRT file.... I played other .MP4 videos that have .SRT files and MPC is working OK.

To me this is NOT an issue anymore unless you want me to share here the .SRT file in question.... I have no idea if I can attach an .SRT file here.

You can upload the srt file on this website:
http://www.sendspace.com

Copy the link here.

Uploaded, link is:

/file/1zfd14

The first entry in that subtitle is invalid. It is missing the timecode.

You can fix the file by removing the first entry.

Hello !!!

I appreciate your kind response that solves the problem. Thank You.... could you please mark this issue as successfully closed?
