Looking for a media player
Is there a media player with a "jump to the next line in the subtitle file" keyboard shortcut option?

 * I don't know of one that allows you to skip to another line, but VLC media player allows you to increase or decrease the subtitle delay by pressing 'g' or 'h'. - Cucumber Mike (talk) 13:21, 27 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll just put in another reccomendation for VLC - excellent player. --Yellow1996 (talk) 16:13, 27 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Can you clarify what you want to do?


 * A. Do you want to skip to the point in the video where the next subtitle appears? This could be used to read and advance the video at a self-paced speed that is faster than listening to the ordinary-speed audio, but still allows watching the video for context (a possible advantage over just reading the subtitle file as a stand-alone transcript).


 * B. Do you want to keep the video playing normally, but shift the subtitles so the next subtitle appears right away? This sounds like an easier way to re-synchronize the subtitles to the video than changing the "subtitle delay".


 * If you can't find a video player that does what you want, I wonder if watching your video and subtitles in a subtitle editor like Aegisub might give you an option to do what you want. --Bavi H (talk) 00:52, 28 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, SMPlayer. I don't know why this option is not availible on VLC. Rabah201130 (talk) 16:01, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
