What > happens without them? Textoverlay can push video buffer only if it is sure that it has seen all the subtitle buffers with the less or equal timestamps. This is the case (or so it thinks) if either there is a buffer with end point in the future, or there was a NEWSEGMENT for text stream with start point in the future. With overlapping buffers, the first condition is incorrect. It results in lost subtitles. We can only be sure that we have seen all the subtitles from the past if the _start_ of some subtitle is in the future, or the same NEWSEGMENT condition. For example, if there were two subtitles with time intervals [0, 10] and [1, 2], the second one may never be displayed. This is not that important for textoverlay, because it does not support overlapping subtitles at all. In fact, the second buffer ([1, 2]) would be locked in text_chain until the end of the first one. I'm writing an overlay that supports overlapping subtitles. For this reason I can only rely on start points of text buffers to decide when to push the video frame. If I get a long subtitle buffer, only NEWSEGMENT events (starting from start of the buffer + 0.5 seconds) can tell me that video stream can progress. -- See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=email.html for more info about why you received this email, why you can't respond via email, how to stop receiving emails (or reduce the number you receive), and how to contact someone if you are having problems with the system.
