Subtitles in videos in Windows 10.

I found the answer for display external subtitle file using Windows 10 "Film & TV" app.

The trick is to add the video folder into "Film & TV" app

• Launch "Film & TV" app
• On the main screen, add the folder where you have the video by clicking on "+ Add folders"
• This can be the parent folder of the video, and the app will scan through all the sub-directories in it (it will take some time)
• Wait for the video scanning process to finish
• Scroll all the way down to "All videos" to see a list of video files it recognize (if it doesn't recognize, then subtitle won't work)
• Single click on the video to start playing
• To confirm it picks up the subtitle file, click on "Show menu for subtitles and sound" which is a subtitle icon next to the volume button on lower left

I named my subtitle file to the same name of my mp4 (I haven't tested other movie format)

After that is setup, then playing the video from Windows Explorer (double click) or from "Film & TV" will pick up the subtitile file

 

Windows 10 Films&TV app can open some subtitle file

i have 2 viedo clip in mp4 both of them have the subtitle file as .ass.

One clip could play on the Film&TV app with successfully open the subtitle file (.ass)

but the second file can not open the subtitle file (.ass), no matter how many time try to open. The subtitle file does not show/available in the subtitle lists.

My is windows10home 64 bits(not yet activate and be forced update by Microsoft last nigh 11/18/2017 but I do not think it causes this issue as the first clip and sub is ok)

Is there any limitation or suggestion?
