Playback with internal and external subtitles
Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 7:32 pm
Hello,
after I've not been able to get the WinXP version working with subtitles and Win7 was working but too slow I switched back to the original installation of Ubuntu.
Now after a while h264 seems to play just fine but I can't get mplayer to load subtitles neither mkv-internal nor external sub/idx ones.
Trying stuff like (and some more)
for a file using external subs in sub/idx format and internal:
Console output has stuff like
Telling me that I'm not exactly wrong about what I'm doing...
and alike would not work for some reason. Starting through the console I can see an error:
Is anyone aware of that problem? I haven't been able to track down some useful info on google for some reason
Thanks!
