    Why are you trying to use VLC? It seems like it would make more sense to use the default player

      When I use VLC with other apps, there’s an option to download subtitles. I don’t have that with the built in exoplayer or libvlc.

      Update: Downloaded and installed the opensubtitles plugin on my server. And switched back to exoplayer. I can download subtitles now.

        Can’t find MVP player anywhere online

        Update: it’s MPV player. I found it here and side loaded it but it still doesn’t let me download subtitles like VLC does.
