Kodi 15.2 doesn't show ass subtitles
#1
Hey,

Since I updated from 14 to 15.2, I got the problem that mkv's dont show embedded ASS subtitles anymore...Other embedded subtitles in Movies do work, just ASS doesnt.
Does anyone got a solution? I updated libass4 to libass5, but this doesnt change anything either...Sad

Thanks!

Which OS and version are you using ? The Kodi log would also be usefull.

Adding to this, I use Openelec, with ASS files alongside the video file, and it works perfectly.

OSMC it's a standalone OS (i don't know if it's possible to call in this mode)....... simply pick the last image from osmc.tv.

Otherwise it's based on KODI 15.2.............

It works fine for me also on Raspbian. Since DjDiabolik says it works on OSMC for him, maybe its something with your installation or file. The log file should help to identify the cause.

i installed via the raspibian repos and was having this issue too. i was unable to play ass or srt subs (embedded or otherwise)
i found this today https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/722 it outlines a solution
in the media fire link posted in the thread http://[http://www.mediafire.com/downloa...0.1.tar.xz extracted and installed
Code:
libass4_0.10.1-1_armhf.deb
via ssh terminal (kodi is installed to a distro called volumio)
then for good measure i restarted (i dont know it was needed by hey only tkes a few minutes)

the following works for kodi 15.2
im running a raspberry pi 2 with the volumio distro
kodi was installed from the repos

a basic walkthrough (based on windows and a headless debian)
software im using for ssh/tftp is bitvise ssh

download the dropbox file in the thread
first extract the file called
Code:
libass4_0.10.1-1_armhf.deb
log in to your pi and start a tftp session
drop the file to the pi (i used /mnt/USB yours may be different)
when the upload finishes close out of the sftp window
launch a new terminal console
type the following commands (one command per line)
Code:
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file
sudo apt-get install -f
reboot
once kodi comes back up try and play a file with ass or srt subs

also dont thank me i only wrote this brief tutorial
thank mkreisl on github https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/722
