Bug XBMC does not display SubScene subtitles?
#1
Hi Folks,

I'm using the latest nightly of Gotham (XBMCSetup-20140218-f6f539a-master.exe), and a .sub file in the same directory as my movie does not display any subtitles on screen. I have also tried with Frodo 12.3, and the behaviour is the same.
I used an online service to convert the .sub to a .srt, and the converted file does display subtitles.
The movie played through vnc does display the subtitles using either the .sub or the .srt file.
In addition to the two .fr. subtitle files, I also have a .en.srt file - it displays properly.

Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/QWVREAtN
Not Working (Ghost Busters.dvd.fr.sub): http://pastebin.com/Aj4ZaBfm
Working (Ghost Busters.dvd.fr.srt): http://pastebin.com/Gp2WYvA2

I looked through the debug log, and see notices every time I hit L to change the language, but no errors. Nothing in the log seems to indicate that subtitles are shown or not shown, so you'll have to trust me that I see subtitles display for the two .srt files and not for the .sub.

Is there something broken in the code that processing the .sub file, or does the file have incorrect formatting?

Cheers,
Dave.

Since the files are already downloaded and in the right place I think the problem isn't related to any subtitle addon. If the files work correctly in Frodo, you might file a bug report for Gotham. (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...bug_report)

Thanks for the reply.

Agreed that the problem is not with the addon - the .fr.sub and .en.srt were both selected for download and both downloaded correctly. However, as described in my original post, the .fr.sub did not display anything. Maybe I've posted in the wrong Forum sub-topic?

To clarify, the .sub file which was downloaded does not work in either Frodo or Gotham.

Would a bug report still be the way to go?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I too am fairly new here. Maybe you try the general help forum first.
