Issue
Is there a way to get OMXPlayer to display the embedded subtitles in foo.mp4 without extracting the subtitles with ffmpeg to foo.srt, and without hardcoding the subtitles into foo.mp4?
Solution
The problem was solved by adding SRT subtitles to a MKV-container instead of MP4:
ffmpeg -i infile.mp4 \
-f srt -i subtitles.srt \
-c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s srt \
-metadata:s:s:0 language=nor \
outfile.mkv
Subtitles can than be displayed by starting OMXPlayer with -t 0
omxplayer -t 0 outfile.mkv
