Description
mpv Information
I would like to display subtitles from a .vtt file with the same name located in the same directory in the MPV player window while playing an MP3 file. Is this possible?
Other Information
- Windows version: windows10
Reproduction Steps
no
Expected Behavior
no
Actual Behavior
no
Log File
no
Sample Files
no
I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
- I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
- I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
- I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of
--log-file=output.txt. - I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
- I attached the full, untruncated log file.
- I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction
The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points; it only specifies an MP3 and same-name .vtt file in one directory on Windows 10. Begin by locating mpv's subtitle discovery and audio playback entry points, then clarify the expected behavior and define a reproducible MP3/.vtt test case.
