I am using xine-lib 1.0.0b12 and xine-ui 0.9.21. I have found various issues with using external subtitles: 1. When starting a dvd with xine dvd:/::subtitles.sub or xine dvd:/#subtitles.sub the subtitles appear only during the intro sequence, and they are lost after I press 'play movie' in the DVD menu (tested with The Matrix). The same is true if choosing the subtitle file from the UI. However, the problem is solved by running directly the movie: xine dvd:/1::subtitles.sub 2. The SubViewer2 and Subrip subtitle formats are incorrectly detected: SubViewer2 files are detected as Subrip files and vice-versa. The problem is in xine-lib-1-beta12/src/libsputext/demux_sputext.c, lines 637-647. The fix is trivial (switch tests). The formats are explained in the following pages: http://divxstation.com/article.asp?aId=27 http://www.gtksubtitler.prv.pl http://www.digital3d.com/subviewer.asp (download source code) 3. Some subtitle converter packages (eg, GTKsubtitler) export SubViewer2 files containing [BR] directives, instead of [br]. xine-lib does not understand the capital letters directive and takes it verbatim. The problem is again in xine-lib-1-beta12/src/libsputext/demux_sputext.c, line 318. The fix is trivial (add strncmp test or use strncasecmp). 4. I would like the UI to tell me that I use the external subtitles and I would like to have the option to turn them off during the movie. Currently, it says sub:none. --Tavi. PS. I didn't look in CVS to see whether any of these issues have been addressed. PPS. This is my first message to the list, so I'd like to thank all developers for a great program. |
