  <title>Problem with loading subtitles</title>

  <p>
  It may happen that, even though you follow instructions concerning subtitles
  from <link xref="subtitles"/> page or <link xref="preferences"/> page,
  <app>Videos</app> still does not load subtitles. The reason for that may be:
  </p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Wrong name of the subtitles file - open the file chooser and check if
      the name of the subtitles file is the same as the name of the movie file.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Lack of the subtitles file - open the file chooser and check if there
      is also a file with the subtitles in the directory with the movie.</p>
    </item>
  </list>

  <p>If you do not have a subtitles file for your movie, you can search for it
  via <app>Videos</app>:</p>
  <steps>
    <item><p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
    <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the <gui>General</gui> tab under <gui>Plugins</gui>, press
      <gui style="button">Plugins…</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the <gui>Configure Plugins</gui> window, enable the <gui>Subtitle
      Downloader</gui> plugin. It will try to find and download subtitles for
      the currently played movie.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note>
  <p>Please notice that to search for subtitles you need to be connected
  to the Internet.</p>
