Thanks Duncan I think this is equivalent to what I mentioned above - according to the mplayer doc vobsub_lang is just a "stub" for sub_select - and it works fine for me for videos for which mplayer can read the subtitles. Which does not appear to be the case for the .vob and MPEG TS files I have. > 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') Thanks I will try that. Looking at video/xine.py, it seems there is a problem because xine does not wrap around in the subtitle list - this is done by hand in the freevo code. So maybe I have to bind one key for going up and another for going down in the list of subtitles. > The full list of bindings are in the xine-ui files: src/fb/actions.c > src/xitk/kbindings_common.c Ah yes, source code... If I find the courage.
