Subtitles autodetection does not work when streaming over http interface

    • Closed Issue created by flangis @flangis

    I am using VLC 0.8.6a on a windows XP SP2 machine. VLC is controlled remotely over the http interface by a vlc client running on dreambox machine. The problem is that subtitles are not auto detected. I start vlc with the following options:

    H:>"h:\Installations\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http -vvv --freetype-fontsize=24 --sout-transcode-soverlay --sub-margin 24 --sout-transcode-fps=25 --sub-autodetect-file --sub-autodetect-fuzzy=3 --noosd --sub-autodetect-path=H:

    Both movie and subtitle files are on root directory H: (Named test.avi and test.srt). When the movie is started i see the following in the vlc log:

    main debug: looking for a subtitle file in H:\ main debug: looking for a subtitle file in H:\

    But no srt file is detected.

    The full vlc log file is attached.

    Please note that if i start the file from windows explorer or within vlc then the srt file is detected.

    The only way to load the srt file is by using --sub-file.

    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
