Hi there developers, I am new here and I am not a developer. But I wrote a few lines of code to solve a tiny bug (rather a 'nag'). I like to share it with you. Hopefully it could be used in the project. As till cvs 20040622 the 'bug' still exists. Symptoms: When using "vobsub" sometimes there will be no subtitle displayed. Cause: It occurs when "langidx:" parameter in .idx contains an id and this id is not defined as a language. Vobsub.c will contain no valid lang-id in var "vobsub_id" and will not display a subtitle at startup. I have seen this behaviour many times in vobsub v7 generated idx files. Test file: Take an .avi with a vobsub .idx and .sub. Edit .idx file; change value for "langidx:" like below: ("langidx:" value must differ from all "index:" values) langidx: 0 id: hu, index: 6 (meaning "choose langidx 0 as default. Langid "hu" is defined as langidx 6) Solution code placement: Module: "VobSub.c" Function: "vobsub_open" right after line: *spu = spudec_new_scaled_vobsub(........); Code: /*================================================================*/ (...) void * vobsub_open(...) (...) need declare i int i; (...) next code to be placed after line: *spu = spudec_new_scaled_vobsub(........); /* If langidx: in .idx is not a valid id then take the first one available */ if ((vobsub_id < 0) || (vobsub_id >= vob->spu_streams_size) || !(vob->spu_streams[vobsub_id].id)) { /* vobsub_id is the default language, if it is not present in stream we need to select another one. Just take the first available */ vobsub_id = -1; for (i = 0; i < vob->spu_streams_size; i++) if (vob->spu_streams[i].id) { vobsub_id = i; break;} } /*================================================================*/ Could someone make this change and test it ? Hopefully it could be used in your project. Thanx allot and keep up the good work... Branko, alias Nappie :-) Holland. Note: I posted this to "mplayer-users" yesterday, and realized it's the wrong group. Sorry for that.
