Hey guys. I have upgraded my Kodi version to Jarvis RC 1 and I am having problems with subtitles not appearing as soon as the video plays. Is anyone having this problem? Please help. Thanks.

Hey guys. I just installed a stable version of Jarvis 16.0 and I'm having an issue where I can't make subtitles appear on my screen during video playback. I checked the settings for the subtitles but I couldn't fix the issue. Please help. Thanks

I can confirm; subtitles do not work with Jarvis. I don't know what the "Enable Translation" feature does in Viki, however when I enable it I get an error and cannot enter the Viki addon.

I think something might have changed in Kodi Jarvis. From looking at logs, the viki add-on sets a url to the sub on the viki site (variable suburl) and then sends to kodi the command xbmcPlayer.setSubtitles(suburl) and this works in Kodi 15 but not 16 (no indication in the log when it does or doesn't work). The suburl is the same in both 15 and 16.
Also the add-on downloads the english sub into its own "resources" subfolder as sub.srt. I guess the idea of translate is that if the viki site doesn't have the sub in the desired subtitle language, the add-on uses this local sub.srt and passes it to Google translate to get a translated version. Then I guess it points Kodi to this translated version. I'm not sure yet how it does this, but it could probably be hacked to use that local sub.srt in xbmcPlayer.setSubtitles(path_to_/sub.srt).

So has anyone figured out how to make the subtitles appear with Kodi 16?

I re-installed Kodi 15.2 in one of my device and the subtitle still works there. I guess for Viki I will stick with that one device until someone picks up on this addon or Dknight comes back and tweak it.

Ok I found a work around that seems to work in Kodi 16 (and probably 17):
It turns out that the plugin downloads a sub (probably english at least, maybe other language if available?) and stores it here:
special://profile/addon_data/plugin.video.viki/resources/sub.srt
where special://profile is the userdata folder for the current in use profile or mastreprofile.
So, in the settings / video settings / subtitles set the subtitle storage location to custom and browse to this path.
Now when you play a viki stream, open the OSD menu and select the audio item. That pops up a dialog and you can manually search for subtitle sub.srt. It should open right into the correct directory that you set. Select sub.srt and close out the dialogs. You could maybe map a key to ActivateWindow(osdaudiosettings) to save a couple clicks.
Give it a try.
