How do I make MPC show forced subtitles?

Question

There is Home Cinema video player, installed directly from its site.

And it can show any other subtitles in a MKV video file, but it not showing the forced ones. I can select them, but there is just no text on the screen.

I have tried different rendering engines as well as different video filters or splitters I have defaultly installed along with the player, still nothing.

What should I do?

Solution

Best answer I can give you are the bug reports I found while searching this:

#2166 - MKV Default and Forced Subtitle Track Not Turned On

It seems as there is still no answer, and it is ongoing for some time. My advice would be to use another player for viewing the files with forced subtitles.

If you're using .srt files you just need to make sure that they have the same name as the associated movie and they exist in the same folder.

By forced ones what do you mean?

@DoktoroReichard by forced I mean this.

@yassarikhan786 It is built-in subs with additional "forced" flag set to true, as far as I know.
