What's new in SubPlayer

Current version: 0.5.17 · updated 2026-06-22 · Windows

SubPlayer is improved continuously - fixes and new features ship every few days. Here's the plain-language history: what changed, when, and why it matters. Updates install automatically inside the app, so you're always on the latest.

0.5.17LatestJune 22, 2026

NewMore stable subtitles in fullscreen. SubPlayer's generated subtitles are now drawn directly into the video surface, which reduces positioning and flicker problems in fullscreen.
BetterBigger, clearer subtitles by default - easier to read from across the room, and still fully adjustable.

0.5.16June 21, 2026

FixA failed translation no longer leaves a broken subtitle file behind that could block re-translating the same movie.
BetterOpen a subtitle file (.srt) by mistake and you get a clear, friendly message instead of an error.

0.5.15June 20, 2026

BetterMuch faster startup. The first launch after an update used to sit on a blank window for around 30 seconds - now it opens in about a second.
NewSilent background updates. Updates now install themselves in the background and the app reopens on its own - no clicking through an installer.

0.5.14June 19, 2026

BetterCleaner on-screen subtitles - stray formatting tags are removed for a tidier look.
NewOne simple plan, and your license key now arrives by email the moment you buy.

0.5.13June 18, 2026

NewA dedicated fullscreen button in the player controls.
BetterGroundwork for flexible licensing and subscriptions.
