Problem Observed

When using the vlc on an iOS device, I noticed that video files that has an embedded subtitle in them play smoothly with the display of the subtitles on screen. so when we have a video file that has no subtitle embedded in it, no subtitles is displayed.

Proposed Suggestion

A tab should be included that will enable users to search the web with an internet connectivity to be able to download subtitle file and be able to watch the video with the downloaded subtitle.

Benefits

This will allow the user to seamlessly search the internet and get the preferred subtitle he needs to watch the movie

Conclusion

This will greatly improve the user experience of the VLC media player
