---------------

Penguin Subtitle Player is an open-source, cross-platform standalone subtitle player, as an alternative to Greenfish Subtitle Player, SrtViewer (Mac), SRTPlayer, JustSubsPlayer and Free Subtitle Player.

You download the subtitle file (.srt, .ssa, .ass, .vtt) file from any sites you like and load it into the subtitle player. The subtitle player provides a translucent window which always stays on the top so that subtitles can be shown on top of the video without blocking anything.

With Penguin Subtitle Player, just open your favorite online streaming site, load the subtitle file into the player, and enjoy.

Features

  • 700+ encoding supported (default: UTF8)
  • Auto encoding detection
  • Multiple subtitle formats supported (.srt, .ssa, .ass, .vtt)
  • Drag & drop file
  • Customizable layout (Frame size, Background color & Opacity, Font style)
  • Time fine tuning (Fast forward / backward with customizable time interval)
  • Skip to previous / next subtitle
  • "Next Click Counts" feature

User Reviews

  • Sadly, this is one of the few subtitle viewers I can find on the PC, none of them are much good. This one does OK, but the seek forwards and backwards buttons don't work. So in order to line your subtitles up you rely on the scroll bar - which isn't very accurate on long video clips such as films, so you have to go forward of the time the film is at, pause it, then press play on your film and wait for it to catch up. Minor time corrections can only be made by pausing one or the other. Also the buttons have some weird auto-hide feature, which is a nice idea, but it works really weirdly so you it's difficult to find the button you want. I went back to version 1.01 because they are less weird and unreliable than the latest which seems to be 1.1.0.

    This software supports many encodings including UTF-8.
  • I prefer Total Video Player which is more powerful. It is also a great video player for mac with subtitles.
  • Very useful application for adding subtitles to online video streaming services which do not provide them (such as Now TV, Sky's streaming website in the UK). Extremely easy to use and works perfectly for me. Great support from the developer - on reporting the slow timer issue in Windows (mentioned in a previous review), this was fixed within hours.

  • Beautiful interface, particularly in light of its competitors. One fatal flaw, however, seems to be that the clock runs slow - at least on my system - with no means to correct which renders the app useless. Have tried several installs, to no avail. Oh well, very nice try.
