Subtitles Support - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Dear all
I feel very sad because Z Ultra doesn't support subtitles for watching movies from Movies app.
The only way I find is to install any other app like VLC etc.
These small required things makes me miss my Note II.

I think the Movies can give full support for Movies purchased through the SEN store. Same with Apple's apps I suppose. MKV files also does not have sound. I think this is due to the codec licensing issue. Installing VLC is the only option unfortunately.

I don't really see the hardship about installing a free third party app like MX Player.

I know it's not hard to install tp apps but it was the least required feature to expect.

I use third party apps whenever possible for a couple of reasons.
1.) They are normally better than stock apps.
2.) To avoid the very issue you have just encountered when swapping devices.
Thats just me though each to his own, I agree it can be frustrating when simple features get left out

Yup, got it last week. It is also possible to play videos in the background now (i.e audio). Not sure if it was there before, but i didn't notice it until the latest update.

Have you tried BSPlayer? It's a third party video player which HAS subtitle support.
Give that a go and report back.

But if you read the rest of the thread, you'll see that the stock Movies app do have subtitle support now

I used to play videos by Dice Player. However, my concern was why there was no option for subtitle support for the default player in Z Ultra? Which in general I have seen in other mobile device.
I thought it's the basic required thing in all video playing apps.

True LordManhattan, but third party video/music players are always better, depending on the application and support of course.

Sure, but i hate having unnecessary 3rd party apps installed, so i'm not complaining when Sony updates their stock apps with new features
