Yes. I fixed VLC Player block Chinese subtitle srt issue finally. Thanks for my friend, CC. He told me to use another media player ~ MpcStar. MpcStar is a new for me. I am using VLC player to play MKV format video all the while. However, I faced VLC Player block Chinese subtitle srt mkv issue. I cannot enable the Chinese subtitle to work even using UTF-8, GB or BIG5. I gave up in the end. However, my hope to play mkv video with Chinese subtitle show up again after CC told me this MpcStar.
What should I do to solve VLC Player block Chinese subtitle srt mkv issue? First, download MpcStar. Then convert the Chinese subtitle srt file to UTF-8 from GB or BIG5. After that, you are ready to watch your video with Chinese subtitle enabled.
