Hi,
why are we unable to load external subtitles by double clicking on subtitle file directly from folder any more? This is not working after latest update.
It used to lead subtitle while video was still playing and for me that was the easiest way to do it. Now it just stops video playback and shows main kmplayer empty window.
KMPlayer (64-bit)
