Pause doesnt work after adding subtitle on the fly.

Reported by: Rex Assigned to:
Priority: high Milestone: 0.9.0 bugs
Component: Subtitles Version: master
Severity: normal Keywords: subtitle, pause, on-the-fly
Cc: Platform(s): Win32
Difficulty: unknown Work status: Not started

Description

Since 0.8.6 there is a new feature that allows you to add subtitles on the fly. (By moving a subtitle file into the player while its playing a movie.)

There is a new bug though. After adding the subtitle file to your player, the player wont be able to pause the video anymore. Pausing will ONLY pause the subtitle AND NOT the video.

Hopefully you guys can change it so pausing will be able to pause the subtitle AND movie.

Here is a bit more of information in case people want to reproduce the bug: OS: Win XP VLC Version: 0.8.6 Movie File: Any AVI file Subtitle File: Any SRT file

I'm sorry, is that a question to me? I don't what the 'trunk' is. I do know that its still buggy in 0.8.6b though.

I tested this against 08 April 2008 nightly with a XVid/DivX .avi file and .srt subtitle file. There is no way to pause after dragging the .srt file the subtitle file onto the player.

Thanks for testing it btw, as I totally forgot about this as I don't add subtitles on the fly anymore.

  • version changed from 0.8.6 to HEAD.

I can confirm it still exists with vlc 0.8.6d and the nightly vlc-0.9.0-git-20080403-0909-win32.exe. This is a real problem for me, especially with the stable version as I don't see another way to add subtitles except by dragging them. In 0.9, luckily, subtitles can (easily) be added, so it's less of a problem - but it'd still be great if this could be fixed.

I know this is off-topic, but can you explain how? I really could use a work-around, even if it's for 0.9 only. Thank you.

Sure! If you run VLC and go to "Media -> Open file", you can type in the name of the file in the "file names:" input field. However, if instead of of typing c:\movie\movie.avi, you just type c:\movie and hit enter, VLC will automatically load the subtitle, provided it has the same name (e.g. my-movie.avi & my-movie.srt).

Come to think of it, this probably works in VLC 0.8.6foo as well, I just haven't tried it yet.

If it doesn't work for you, let me know, I'll try to see if I do something special or have a certain setting which makes it work for me.

Still doesn't work on vlc-0.9.0-git-20080531-0003-win32.exe. It'd be great if someone could have a look at this :)

For those who want a workaround: you can always do "file" -> "open file", select a movie, check "use a subtitles file", and add a subtitle that way. When you do this, pausing still works.

It's just annoying when you're trying out a lot of subtitles (to find a matching one), as that requires many more steps. Also, I've noticed it confuses the hell out of non-technical users who are used to simply dragging subtitles.

  • owner deleted.

should not be assigned to me, since OS X interface does not support this method of loading subtitles at all. Makes it kinda hard to debug.
