you could use the "Get media file name" actor combined with the "text formatter". This way you'd always open the srt file with the same file name of the media file.

By the way, if some one reads this with knowledge; Is there a way to 'invert' the text chopper? To optimize this, it would be great to 'chop off' the .avi or what ever there is. But the "text chopper" actor just leaves the last three chars instead. I feel, this is misleading if one thinks to chop off three chars from the end. But the mouse over help tells otherwise.

Very much appreciated 👍🙏

I would suggest the table actor. Something like this:

Other options exist, like using Data Array, but this seems possibly the most straight forward. 

<p>Hi Everyone, </p><p>I have a setup using the SRT Player. Lots of videos selected at Random and played through a projector, is there a way to select the matching SRT file to play in sync on a separate projector/screen? </p><p>I've no doubt Im overlooking an obvious Actor to make this happen, enjoying having the subtitles be adaptable through the text draw so would like to keep it that way if possible.</p><p>Many thanks</p><p>Simon</p>
