For mplayer the following works for me. EVENTS['video']['SUBTITLE'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='vobsub_lang') Never tested xine; the "slave" command for the next subtitle is SpuNext so I would try: EVENTS['video']['SUBTITLE'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_XINE_CMD, arg='SpuNext') The full list of bindings are in the xine-ui files: src/fb/actions.c src/xitk/kbindings_common.c Duncan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
