since one or two updates potplayer does not save the subtitles in the currently loaded video’s folder.
Is there a parameter that was changed or is it a regression ?
running 32 bits here
Thanks

Thanks for this. Check around PotPlayer but couldn’t get where the subtitles are saved now. Will update the post, when I find the location.
Thanks for the finding and I really appreciate.
Tim says
Please you could click on Save Selected subtitle as, then give the file name and select the format (default is smi, but I will advise srt). The location of the Video is the default.
Thanks Temis

after updating potplayer, the subtitle downloader has a bug that replaces the “\” and the “:” symbols with underscores “_” in the “save checked ones” button, I have to save it manually and it’s really annoying
Dr. Jan Itor says
Same issue. Nothing seems to happen when ‘save checked ones’. button is pressed. Please fix this issue.
David Scémama says
same issue, I don’t know where the checked subtitles are saved

how to add another website, such as ‘subscene.com’ website to this list. it has a pretty accurate list and variety of languages.
