MoviX

Hi, i would like to ask few question regarding the usage of movix ...
1 ) there were no subtitle even that i press v , the screen shows subtitle : enable or disable, but there's still don't have subtitle, not even a words ...

2 ) Why is the sound that i recieved was just only the background sound ? that means i can't hear the conversation, or talking. Izzit related to my speaker ? ( cause i have just one side, the other side of speaker has broken . )

please tell me the solution, causeMovix was the only program that i can use.
Thank you !

> 1) there were no subtitle even that i press v

the subs file name must be the same as the movie file (except for the extension :-)
If the name is different, then you have to tell explicitly movix the subs name adding to the mplayer options
-sub subfilename

> 2) Why is the sound that i recieved was just only the background sound ?

try many audio/video files and let me know if you always get the same behaviour

1) But if there's multiple subtitles as for multiple languages named "as_the_movie.language.subtitle_est" (e.g movie.avi and movie.french.srt) they aren't shown.

For a easier use i put:
(movix.pl @ $play_file_menu, line 655)

### Add an error popup in case mount fails!!! ###
my $file = $cui->filebrowser( -title => "Select a Movie", -path => "/cdrom/" );
my $subfile = $cui->filebrowser( -title => "Select a Subtitle", -path => "/cdrom/" );
play($vo_driver,$file,"-sub \"$subfile\"") unless $file eq "";

It's not a very good solution but it's easier than type each time -sub ...

Maybe the best solution is the following: activating the "subtitles" filebrowser only when subtitles are present *and* (there is more than one subtitle starting by the same name *or* there is no subtitle with the same name as the video file chosen).

This way at least the people using the most natural settings won't be constantly bothered by that filebrowser and you will get it when it makes sense for it to show up.

ok, in the 0.8.0rc2 MoviX version I implemented what you asked for, pls try it and let me know if it really works [it did in my tests but you never know...]

It seems your script doesnt work for Ogg Vorbis Media file (.ogm), after several try with different name for the sub, and ogm file, the subtitle has never be displayed. So I have tried to rename the .ogm by .avi and I the subtitle choosers has been chown.

Oops... thanks, I'll fix that!
