#1 Script dies when calling subtitle2pgm

[gente libre]

It looks subtitle2pgm is not accepting the -X parameter.

Here is the DVDshrink output:

ephemeral restart the script with 'dvdshrink --restart'

And here is subtitletopgm usage:

subtitle2pgm -h

Convert a subtitle stream to pgm images

subtitle2pgm [options]
subtitle2pgm expects a subtitle stream as input.
Use
tcextract -x ps1 -t vob -a 0x20 -i
file.vob
to make a subtitle stream from a VOB and pipe
its output
directly into subtitle2pgm.
Options:
-i <file_name> Use file_name for input
instead of stdin.
-o <base_name> Use base_name for output files
default: movie_subtitle
-c <c0,c1,c2,c3> Override the default grey
levels.
default: -c 255,255,0,255
Valid values: 0<=c<=255
-g <format> Set output format to 0=PGM
(default),
1=PPM, 2=PGM.GZ, 3=PNG_GRAY,
4=PNG_GRAY_ALPH, 5=PNG_RGBA
-t <format> Set tag file format 0=srtx
(default) 1=dvdxml
-l <seconds> Add <seconds> to PTS for
every DVD-9 layer skip
(default 0.0)
-C <boarder> Crop image but keep
<boarder> pixels if possible
(default is < 0 = don't crop
at all)
-e <hh:mm:ss,n> extract only n subtitles
starting from hh:mm:ss

============

subtitletopgm is included with subtitleripper-0.3.4
from gentoo.

I see. The problem is that the latest SF release of
subtitleripper (0.3.4) was in 2003. The -X option was added
9 months ago.

It appears the only way to get a version of subtitleripper
that works would be to checkout via CVS. Hopefully
dvdshrink can check the version, and possibly not use the -X
flag.

I'll add it to the todo list. Thanks for the feedback.
