  I have a folder that contains around 51 videos and another folder with their respective subtitles.
  
  I don't want to merge the folders into one folder so I was wondering if there's a way to store subtitle `srt` files location (or at least a folder location for all subtitles) in an `m3u` playlist file along with the video files locations.
  
  **Note:** Video file format is `flv`.
  
  **Tags:** video, file-formats, subtitles, playlist

  yes, VLC supports that with the `EXTVLCOPT` custom tag.
  
  example:
  
  ```
  #EXTINF:-1,Abenobashi ED - Anata No Kokoro Ni (In Your Heart)
  #EXTVLCOPT:sub-file=/p/Documents/mus/lyrics/Abenobashi ED - Anata No Kokoro Ni (In Your Heart).srt
  #EXTVLCOPT:subsdec-encoding=UTF-8
  Abenobashi ED - Anata No Kokoro Ni (In Your Heart).flv
  
  ```
  
  Note that the path must be absolute and remote files are (unfortunataly) unsupported.
  
  Alternatively you may change the `sub-autodetect-path` in `vlcrc` and add more search paths.
