Welcome to Idea Wide!!
This is a quick tutorial on how to use the Video Sub Player to watch any
online video with subtitles. Why use Video Sub Player?
Well, there are thousands of videos of different movies and TV series available
to watch online free. On the other hand there are thousands of free subtitles
to almost all the movies even in different languages.
So what if we can join both?
so you can watch movies
with subtitles online.
Well that is exactly what the Video Sub Players is doing.
No need to wait till the movie is downloaded to watch it with subtitles.
If you prefer you can download the movie also.
As a normal desktop video player you need both the video file and the
subtitle file to play using the Video Sub Player.
currently we are only supporting Firefox to grab any online video.
although others can watch by manually entering the path of the video
Remember this is the absolute file path.
Video Grabber, the Firefox add-on we developed to grab video files from websites
is highly recommended to use our firefox add-on grab video file from video
hosting providers, There are some tweaks needs to be applied to find the absolute
path of videos. Video Grabber will do it for you.
the add-on can be downloaded from Firefox repository with the below link.
From now on i assume you have the Firefox add-on installed into your
Firefox. Everything is ready!
Shall we watch a movie then?
First activate the add-on from the right below corner
If you can't see the add-on bar, enable it from the view menu -> Toolbars-> Add-on bar
Ok add-on is now activated.
go to any video hosting provider.
in this case i will go to Youtube.
Play the video.
This is important! You need to play the video when the add-on is activated to grab it.
if there are multiple videos on the same site, load the page without the add-on
on activated.
Then activate the add-on. Play the wanted video clip.
When the video starts to play, the add-on will automatically grab the video and
take you to Video Sub Player. Now it is time to find subtitles.
For this demonstration I have already downloaded a SRT file.
In your case, find a subtitle, downloaded and extract the SRT file.
on the below panel of the Video Sub Player, Click browse. Specify the
subtitle file and then click Watch movie.
That's it!
Now you can watch the movie with your own subtitles. This player is currently
running on beta.
Your feedback is highly appreciated.
Hope you enjoy it
