Beginner: Does open rokn it support subtitle ?

[Glenn]

Hi there,

First of all, many many thanks to the developer or this open rokn.
Im using it for my personal purpose as i have 3 roku at home.

I do little understand the coding in the brs and have found something that may refer to how it handles the subtitle., but it does not seem to work.
i have a working XML file already and is properly playing the video, displaying the pictures, etc.

then i added an attribute called "subtitleurl" which points to the path of the subtitle.but it does not seem to display it. i ensured the path is correct and is the same name as with the mp4 video.

I found the function "PlayAudioVideo" (see below) on Openrokn.brs which seems to have the function that supposedly gets the subtitle attribute, but i still couldn't get this to work.

would someone have tips or lead me on how to get this to work. please?

* EXCERPT XML FILE ****
<item type="video" title="Naruto-382 " subtitleurl="http://server/videos/Naruto-382%20.srt" sdposterurl="http://server/thumbnail/naruto_250x320.jpg" hdposterurl="http://server/naruto_250x320.jpg" length="20" url="http://server/videos/Naruto-382%20.mp4" contentid="1234567890" streamformat="mp4">
</item>

**EXCERPT FROM OPENROKN.BRS ( Function PlayAudioVideo) *

itype = getStringAttribute(xe, "type", false)
title = getStringAttribute(xe, "title", true)
' new attribute in orml v1.2
suburl = getStringAttribute(xe, "subtitleurl", true)
if len(suburl) < 1 then
' added to maintain backwards compatibility with orml v1.1
suburl = getStringAttribute(xe, "suburl", true)
endif
sdbifurl = getStringAttribute(xe, "sdbifurl", true)
hdbifurl = getStringAttribute(xe, "hdbifurl", true)

In your XML file Under

<item type="video" you need to add the next line
suburl="http://www.yourserver.com/subdirectory/subsfile.srt"

I added just before the line url="http://www.yourserver.com/videodirectory/video.mp4" and it worked fine for me

Hope this helps.
