Hi,
I love XBMC and it is my primary video player.
The only thing that I'm missing is showing two subtitles simultaneously (available in ugly Bsplayer).
I usually watch tv show in a foreign language and would love to be able to show two subtitles (foreign and my native).
I think It would be awesome to have primary(bottom) and secondary(top) subtitles like in Bsplayer.
Is there any way to do it ?

thanks !
There was a request for this feature in the past:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=40366

Please, somebody.
Is it possible in XBMC to show secondary subtitle ?
If not could you please tell me if it is possible to make a plugin to do it (I'm a developer) ?
just up
Hello,

Is there any progress about it? I am very interested to contribute in the development of this tool, if there is anyone out there who can guide me a little bit (mostly for general xmbc devel staff)

contact meSmile

Cheers
merge2ass.sh works out of the box for me!! The only thing that a do was to erase "bilingual" from the output. Big Grin
I have the same problem. So, I create my own tool to create dual subtitles for VLC, Kodi and any other video player. It's free : http://www.dualsubtitles.com/ and that work very well : I use it each day !

The tool create an .ASS subtitle files from 2 different .SRT files. This is the only tool I know who create dual subtitle working with Kodi (XMBC).
