Subtitles for Divx files

[delgrego]

I have some .avi's with corresponding .srt subtitle files and would like to know if it's possible to display the subtitles within sage. I have vobsub installed and it shows the subtitles when played with windows media player but I get nothing from within Sage.

Thanks,
Greg

It should work. It works for me at least.

Make sure you either have the following in your Sage.properties

always_use_dshow_player=true

This breaks your ability to play google and youtube videos OR

set

mplayer/use_for_all_mpeg4_playback=false
always_use_dshow_player=false

hmm still not working for me using either of those settings. Is there anything in particular I need to set in vobsub? It's definitely working with Windows Media Player. I'm using Sage v6, btw.

Vobsub has a setting to setup where the .srt files are read from. Usually it includes the current directory, ie the dir in which the movie resides. I have also created another dir in which I store all srt files.

What renderer are you using? default, overlay or vmr9?

Have you tried using a different renderer?

What version of divx have you installed?

[delgrego]

ok, so I tried different renderers and when it is set to 'default' it works, VMR9 and Overlay do not show the subtitles.

[Lucas]

That's good.

Are you by any chance running SageTV V5 or before.

I used to have the same issue pre V6.

These Days, subtitles come up even in VMR9!

[delgrego]

no, I'm running v6. I'm using an old Radeon 7000 vid card, could be because of that?

[Lucas]

Could be. When I had the same issue with V5, I was using an ATI 9600XT.

I am now using an Nvidia 7600GS.
