How to make VLC download subtitles automatically and save some effort in going to Google and searching for one.

Step 1:

Open VLC and head over to the “View” option from the menu bar:

Next, hover down the options available and click on “VLsub”

This will open the VLsub plugin interface where you can add details for searching and downloading subtitle.

Step 2:

There are two options of searching the subtitles: Search by name and search by hash.

• Search by name searches by the name of the file you are playing

• Search by hash looks for the subtitles based on the hash of the video and look for the subtitle that matches the hash.

When you click on any of the search option, it gives you a list of results. You can download any of them by clicking on the Download selection button.

You can also choose the subtitle language of your choice. No guarantees that you’ll find the subtitles in your language (but it’s worth trying).

Just click on the Subtitle language and choose the language of your choice from the drop-down menu.

If the subtitles are out of sync you have 2 options:

• Choose a different subtitle from the drop-down list

or

• Select “track synchronization” in the "Tools" drop-down list
