Hi I have some videos in mpeg2 PS (vob files from DVDs) and TS (recorded from digital tv) formats. In addition to the video they contain subtitles, which are seen and played correctly by standalone xine but not by mplayer. Googling appears to indicate that mplayer is not able to read these subtitles, but I could have misunderstood(?).
I would like to be able to select and display these subtitles within freevo, and I see that video.xine contains code for VIDEO_NEXT_SUBTITLE events. So I set VIDEO_PREFERED_PLAYER to xine and I tried to add the necessary video event for xine as follows: EVENTS['video']['SUBTITLE'] = Event(VIDEO_NEXT_SUBTITLE) However this does not work. Freevo launches xine to play the video, but pressing the 'SUBTITLE' button on my remote does not get me the subtitles, nor any other feedback as far as I can see. Can anyone help? Is my 'SUBTITLE' event for xine wrong? Or is it possible to get mplayer to display these subtitles? For information, I have also tried the standard lang and subtitle event bindings for mplayer: EVENTS['video']['LANG'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD,arg='switch_audio') EVENTS['video']['SUBTITLE'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD,arg='sub_select') The first of them works fine - I can cycle the audio tracks - but the second does not, for these mpeg2 files I am talking about. For xine, I also tried to create a LANG event as follows: EVENTS['video']['LANG'] = Event(VIDEO_NEXT_AUDIOLANG) but this does not work, it seems to have no effect.
