Status of subtitle support in MythVideo Internal player?

Hi,

I've tried to get subtitles showing when using the internal player in Mythvideo.

I've tried both separate .srt/.ssa files and integrated subtitles in
the Matroska
container with no luck. Is this implemented?

BR,
/LM

I was just stuck on this last night. I couldn't get myth Internal
player to show subs either. I tried a .mkv file. Then I tried the
and same .mkv with a .srt file.

I'm pretty sure I have used the Internal player to watch an .avi file
with .srt subtitles before. But I am not 100% certain.

Your issues may be specific to Matroska... or version dependent. The
last update to the SRT/SUB code was done here:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7111

Check if your installed version is newer than SVN revision 22025...

I have the latest mythtv-0.22-fixes and external subtitles work pretty
well from .srt on .avi .mkv and .m2ts files using the internal player
(is all I use), they been working on trunk for a while too, just make
sure to press the "T" key after the video starts playing.

I can't speak in particular for .mkv files, but if the basename of the
file contains a period '.' character, the internal player won't pick
up the srt file. E.g., "My.Movie.avi" / "My.Movie.srt" will not show
subtitles, but "My Movie.avi" and "My Movie.srt" will.

See http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6869 .

Re: Status of subtitle support in MythVideo Internal player? [In reply to]

Hi *

I'm also trying to get subtitles working in 0.22-fixes (22775)
So far no any success :(
I was trying 2 movies:
-one avi with external subtitles file (txt and sub extension)
-one mkv with embedded subtitles

There is no any entries in mythfrontend related to subtitles.
Also I ported ticket 7111 - no change.
All this suggest me that issue is elsewhere.

There is no entry in OSD related to subtitles.
Also pressing "t" during playback (via VNC as me FE is disk/kb/mice-less
appliance) has no any effect.

As other ppl reporting success with subtitles - may somebody hint me
what I should do for enabling subtitles support (and what is supported
in 0.22 + ticket 7111)

thx n advance

Check the following:

* Your subtitle file must be named /exactly/ the same as the video
file, except using a .srt or .sub extension. Both files must be in
the same directory.
** i.e. Video: '/myth/video/My Movie.avi' Sub: '/myth/video/My Movie.sub'

* Check your keybindings for TOGGLECC. This is the keybinding that
tells Myth to display subtitles. The default is 'T'.

* Check the read permissions on the subtitle file

Solved.

In my case, for having subs,
"Setup/TVsettings/PlaybackOSD/AlwaysDisplayClosedCaptioningOrSubtitles"
should be ON.

That works for subtitles in MythVideo, but it means that captions are displayed
for TV recordings until they're turned off. Captions can be turned on/off for
TV recordings by pressing T, but this key seems to have no effect. Looking at
the keybindings table in the database, there doesn't appear to be anything in
there pertaining to subtitles or captions.

select distinct action,description,keylist from keybindings where context="Video";

+--------------+----------------------------------------+---------+
| action | description | keylist |
+--------------+----------------------------------------+---------+
| BROWSE | Change browsable in video manager | B |
| DECPARENT | Decrease Parental Level | [.,{,F10 |
| DOWNLOADDATA | Download metadata for current item | W |
| END | Go to the last video | End |
| FILTER | Open video filter dialog | F |
| HOME | Go to the first video | Home |
| INCPARENT | Increase Parental Level | ],},F11 |
| INCSEARCH | Show Incremental Search Dialog | Ctrl+S |
| ITEMDETAIL | Display Item Detail Popup | |
| PLAYALT | Play selected item in alternate player | ALT+P |
+--------------+----------------------------------------+---------+

I'm running MythVideo 0.22 (build 22763, pulled in by a Gentoo ebuild). Would
adding a TOGGLECC action in the Video context (there's one in the TV Playback
context) fix this problem?

No, because you're not in the Video context when you play a video with
the internal player-- you're in the TV Playback context.
