Trying to get Windows Media Player to show Metadata Subtiles?

Hi,

I'm trying to get Windows Media Player to show the subtitles I added during editing the metadata when I play my videos.

When you watch a video in Windows Media Player you'll see in the upper left hand corner the Title and Author metadata labels for the video.

I add Subtitles when editing the metadata on the right click Properties and Details of videos. I do this because I have a large number of videos that makes it easier to label than in this way.

I like to have more of the descriptive info in the subtitle.

However, when I view the videos only the title and author are displayed taking away the advantage of labeling with subtitles.

I've looked in the Windows Media Player Options but do not find any option for this.

I'm not going to change the labeling system I have because it works so well for viewing the video genre in lists format.

So, does anyone know of a plugin or a legal hack to allow for this. I'd really like to see the more descriptive subtitles I added along with the titles. Thanks.

John

PS This is not the subtitles below the speakers in the videos I am referring too, this is just as described above. Thanks.
