 * Hello,
 * I installed your plugin and it worked perfectly as advertised.
 * The only issue I have is that when I activate the plugin, I lose the subtitles
   function in the native player. If this could be fixed it would make it perfect
   for me.
 * Thank you
 * Marc

 * Hi,
    that’s right, the plugin doesn’t support the subtitle feature at the moment.
   While it’s not a big thing to have it activated for a single video and add a 
   subtitle file in the default WordPress video subtitle dialog, this won’t be working
   with playlists.
 * But as I think it would be a great addition to the plugin, I’ll come up with 
   a solution soon!

 * Oh wow! This is fantastic news! As I really don’t need anything fancy other than
   those two features, it would be perfect for me. My product is an international
   product so subtitles are crucial for my market penetration.
 * I still have a couple of months of generating my lessons. I will wait to hear
   from you.
 * Again, thank you so much.

 * Hi,
    I think I got it working. I created a new branch of the plugin at github
   that is featuring the subtitle functionality. Maybe you want to try it out and
   tell me if it’s working for you? Make sure to uninstall the old version of the
   plugin before installing the new one.
 * You can add multiple subtitle files to each video of a playlist. The files have
   to be uploaded to the WordPress Media Library (I’ll add an option for external
   files later).
 * Important: for each subtitle you’ll have to enter a label and a language tag (
   for example ‘en’ for English or ‘de’ for German (without the quotes). I placed
   an info icon next to the language tag input field that links to a website where
   you can find the right language tag (in case you don’t know it).

 * Thank you! This is strange, I came to check randomly, the system didn’t send 
   me a message that someone had replied…
 * I got the file, I will try it and get back to you.

 * Ok, it is ALMOST working perfectly.
 * When I add a second language it only keeps the top one. So I setup two subtitle
   files in the settings but when I hit refresh, the second one disappears.
 * Otherwises it’s perfect!!!

 * Hi,
    yes, for some reason the auto-notification isn’t always working properly…
 * Concerning your issue:
    Are you still adding your subtitles within the default
   WordPress video details dialogue? You’re supposed to add them in the settings
   of the plugin (‘Set subtitle file’), just like adding videos with different qualities.
 * This way it works in my test case. If I add them in the default WordPress video
   details dialogue, it behaves exactly as you described, but this seems to be a
   bug of WordPress, as it also happens when Switch Video Quality isn’t activated.
 * But even if it worked properly, you wouldn’t be able to build a video playlist
   with subtitles for each video. That’s why I added those additional input fields
   to SVQ.

 * Ok, yes I think I still have settings in the WordPress Video details. Let me 
   remove them and see….
 * No I’m sorry it doesn’t work. Even when I remove the video from the page it still
   removes the second subtitle option when I update the page. You say it works for
   you?
 * I don’t need playlists at all. I’m making an online course and using Lifter LMS
   so each video is on a separate page.

 * Sorry, I’ve been quite busy lately.
 * Yes, it’s actually working for me. To be sure we’re using the same settings, 
   could you please follow this step-by-step:
    1. In a new post, add the [video] shortcode in the post editor. Maybe add a width
       attribute. You could also use the ‘Add media’ button, so WordPress will generate
       the shortcode automatically.
    2. Activate Switch Video Quality in the settings dialog of the plugin.
    3. Add a title (optional)
    4. Click the button ‘Choose/upload subtitle’ and upload or select your subtitle
       files (you can select multiple files at once). I’m using .vtt files, but .srt
       files should work, too.
    5. **IMPORTANT!**: You’ll have to edit the Label and Language Tag fields for each
       subtitle manually, as these must be unique and cannot be retrieved from the 
       source files automatically.
    6. Add a video file by clicking the button ‘Choose/upload video’ (optionally add
       multiple files with different qualities).
    7. That’s it. Save your post and tell me if it’s working now.
 * Thanks!
 * Edit: I did some testing with Lifter LMS and it’s working there, too. The steps
   above are essentially the same, but you can either place a video shortcode at
   the first line inside the editor, or enter an url of a self-hosted video in the
   video embed box of Lifter.

 * Hello!
 * Sorry for the delay. I was on a tow week holiday.
 * I just tried your instructions step by step and it worked. I have to figure out
   what I’m doing wrong on the other pages.
 * Thank you so much for your help.

 * Hello Team-Ok!
 * I have just noticed a problem today. The media window is kind of messed up. The
   play button is not centered. I can’t see the menu to choose the resolution anymore
   and the menu to select the subtitles is messed up but still works.
 * Is there any way I can go back to the previous version?
 * Thank you

 * Hi, I’m sorry, just a quick update, the off center issue was my fault. But I 
   still can’t see my resolution selection. Even when I go full screen I don’t see
   it. Only the subtitles with a messed up button but they work.
