Penguin Subtitle Player is especially useful for online video streaming websites that don't support subtitles or don't allow custom subtitles. You can also use Penguin Subtitle Player to display subtitles in a custom position, like on the black top/bottom bands, or to display multiple subtitles in the same time.

The Qt5 application should be able to display subtitles on top of any window, including HTML5 or Flash videos.

Until now, Penguin Subtitle Player (which we've covered before) only supported SRT subtitles, however, with the latest 1.0.0 version, released yesterday, the application received support for SSA/ASS subtitles.

Penguin Subtitle Player 1.0.0 also brings options to skip to previous or next subtitle, an option to reset the application preferences, as well as some UI improvements, like adding a black border around UI icons for better visibility.

Here's Penguin Subtitle Player in action (the first screenshot shows the application while the mouse hovers on it, so its controls are displayed):
