Get Subtitles

How do I get the subtitles to show on my MKV anime videos?

I just got School Rumble via torrent and I can't get subtitles to show up. I know they're there, hence the "built in subtitles" in the title, but I can't get them to appear. My video player is GOM player and I've been messing in the menus of it for a while now and nothing is doing anything. Only these videos won't show subs, I have another MKV anime and it shows subtitles just fine.

1. That's quite a strange problem. Anime sub groups don't release episodes which are subbed with external subtitles, they always have subtitles embedded into them, so i don't see how a problem like that can exist with a anime sub release. It either cannot play the file at all (because of codec issues) or plays it fine. Your able to play the other episodes fine, so i'm not going to blame codecs. A perfect way to test this, is try playing the file in media player classic and vlc or other players alike, and if it still doesn't show subtitles, it is most defenitely the file, because these problems really only occur with external subtitles. I can further help you if you tell me which release group you are refering to. Anyways let me know how that goes.
2. download the codec pack called CCCP http://cccp-project.net/ it comes with Media Player Classic, probably the best player out there. It should display subtitles fine, and if it doesn't right click on the video, subtitles and choose them.
3. I've had the best results with CCCP and SMPlayer. SMPlayer should work out of the box. If your normal player is having trouble, give that a shot. http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/downloads.php?tr_lang=en One of the things I like about SMPlayer is that I can set default languages, so I don't need to worry about constant audio switching when I'm watching a series. I just change the default and I'm good to go. it also can resume from where you left off if you close it (which is handy).
