Majority of the computer users and now even smartphone owners know about VLC Player, which has
been dominating as the best free and most powerful video player. VLC is really light weight and does
not demand high computer specification to play videos. It supports major video formats that a normal
user ever need and can handle HD videos from 1080p up to UDH 4K easily without any lag. The best
thing about this media player is the cross-platform availability and easy to learn shortcuts. So, no matter
on which device you are you can easily install and use it to watch videos.

VLC always gets updated now and then, thanks to the active developers, to support latest hardware as
well any new video formats. But sometimes the new update instead of fixing things mess up with them.
Same happens this time with VLC VLSUB 0.9.13, a subtitle finder tool which allows you find subtitles for
movies and season from opensubtitle.org. Which was a really great feature until it got messed up. Just
like most of the user will be now experiencing VLSUB freeze or crash while search for subtitles.

Luckily I found a way, thanks to VLC forums which really easy to solve this subtitle problem. Follow the
steps below to fix the problem.

Fix VLSUB 0.9.13 Freeze/Crash

1. Download the Notepad++ from hereand install it on your computer.
2. (For MacOS X and Linux Users) Download any free hex editor program or download this one. Link
3. Now open Notepad++ and go to Plugins > Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager.

4. Find Hex Editor in the list and install it. Notepad++ will reinstall.

5. Now go to the installed location of VLC (most probably Program Files)

6. From there navigate to: VideoLAN > VLC > lua > extensions
7. Now open VLSub.luac in notepad++ and from Plugins select Hex Editor -> View in Hex.
8. Now open Find box or press CTRL + F and search for HTTP/1.1.
9. There when found replace HTTP/1.1 with HTTP/1.0

10. Now save the file by pressing CTRL + S. Notepad++ will ask you to run as admin. Select yes and it
will automatically run as admin. Now save again.
Once done open any movie file in VLC and try searching for Subtitles using VLSUB 0.9.13 or any other
version. Hopefully it will work. For any question or suggestion comment below.

Great! it Works!
On Mac: open aplications, find VLC , right click "show package contents", browse to
contents/macOS/share/lua/extensions/ , copy the file to desktop or somewhere else, edit as above
in hex editor , copy and replace file in extensions folder.
