Open external subtitles on mpv on Linux without terminal

26,136

According to the MPV help page's subtitle section:

You need to put sub-auto, and likely sub-paths in your mpv.conf file (see link for examples). I'm not aware of any support for "drag and drop" subtitles addition in MPV.

    On Windows, if I just drag a srt file on to a playing video, the subtitles are displayed. On Linux, the dragging doesn't work. Now, mpv is my default player, so I just double click on the video file to play it. But I can't add subtitles. And I don't want to open my terminal everytime I play a video.

    In mpv version 0.23.0 (Debian) drag and dropping a .srt file seems to work.
