How to fetch subtitle file(.srt) from video

I am working on displaying subtitles in android video player. I have managed to do parsing subtitles from .srt file which is in assets folder. I used

inputStream = this.getAssets().open("Breaking Dawn Part 2.srt");

to fetch .srt file. Also I have displayed same subtitles while playing video. But now i want to fetch .srt file which is embedded in video already to show subtitles. I want to know how can I access .srt file with this way, So that I can show subtitles during video streaming even in android v4 below devices. Kindly help if you have any idea regarding this.

do you mean mkv files? or files that have the subtitles as part of the video? it's just that when you say "embedded in video" i think of it as if the subtitles are a part of the video, and not just optional ones.

if you do mean mkv files, you will need to parse the file itself. here are the specifications:

you might even use their libraries for this task:
