Ah both have the same text. I fixed an issue in regards to the subtitle tracks having the same text in the next release, hopefully that's the same bug that you're seeing.

2 - When using m_PlayerControl.StopMedia() followed by m_PlayerControl.PlayMedia(false) it seems to get stuck at the current location with a white screen.

You can easily confirm the second one by using the remote. For the first one simply disable the hideTimer in the remote, connect and the next time it displays it should be stuck.

#2 has been fixed in v2.18.5.

Just wondering if you'd be so kind as to make us an Android remote client? :P

I am thinking of getting around to that at some point or another, probably once all of the main remote functions have been added to the extension.

It seems you simply closed my pull request without merging it, is there something I need to change?

Uh did I? Hmm can you do another one? I might have inadvertently done that. Sorry!

DeadlyEmbrace · 21st January 2015, 07:19

No worries, I'll submit a new request in a bit.

The encoders can't encode 1080, they can just do 1088. They can use "cropping" in the bitstream to get to 1080, and they usually do that, but sometimes the cropping bitstream element is missing.

All displays out there are 1920x1080, and the remaining 8 lines in a 1920x1088 video bitstream are usually "garbage". Because of that it makes a lot of sense to forcefully cut 1920x1088 down to 1920x1080. Otherwise those 8 garbage lines would be visible, and furthermore they would also result in scaling becoming active when rendering on 1920x1080 display which really doesn't make any sense.

Thanks, the new snapping in .5 is much better - it works as expected now.

Done. Oh BTW can you do a quick merge from my branch? Basically it's a simple change to make it use .net 4.0 methods only. Hopefully that will make it possible to auto merge.

Done. Sorry for not replying earlier, access to Doom9 is blocked on my work PC when I'm on the VPN.
Thanks for fixing the Stop/Play issue, it now works perfectly. (Just checked it out)

I have found a strange issue when using fullscreen on my primary monitor (I have 3 panels)
When I go fullscreen on the main panel the two side panels flash black as the switch occurs. If I then click in one of the side panels it flashes black again and then goes on like normal. This happens every time I click inside the player and then outside or vice versa. The issue doesn't occur when I make it fullscreen on one of the secondary displays.

Didn't work. DVD vobsubs still only let me choose the 1st or last entry. I checked out if .ass did the same thing. They do not. .ass seems to work as expected.

This is fullscreen exclusive mode we're talking about isn't it? Exclusive mode seems to be very dependent on the GPU drivers and it behaves very differently from Dx9 to 11. On my Windows 7 setup, Dx10 causes all the screens to go black except the one playing the video, while Dx11 works like 9 where all screens continue to work just fine. I'm afraid there's not much I could do about that.

It's going to be quite hard to figure out what is going on without having the actual samples to test... It's been a long time since I even had a DVD at home, so I'm not sure how to make a sample out of it but perhaps someone could help...

Mother of god, it works. No drop in audio on subtitle selection..

Should be fixed now.

And if your decoder queue is long enough or your machine fast enough, you won't even get so much as a stutter in video.

Doesn't make much sense then to say the bitstream is 1920x1088 to begin with and then decide later that it should be 1920x1080. Anyway I tested with a PNG file - and those 8 lines you spoke about aren't garbage for sure!

For my queue is long and my machine is fast, I shall see no delay.

As long as you don't exhaust your decoder queue (e.g. changing subtitle tracks over and over).
EDIT: Ah found it to skip one frame when the crossover happens. Fixed in next release...
EDIT2: Found a bug where it would lock up if subtitle changes occur too fast. (Fixed)

DVD vobsubs appear to be being selected correctly now as well as the GUI show the selection correctly as well. Still have the problem of the subtitles not displaying at seemingly random times. This behavior is apparent in what we discussed earlier. Thanks for fixing the GUI issue.

Do you get similar behaviour with DirectVobSub vs XySubFilter?

When you say random times, do you mean going back to the same playback position the subs will appear at times but not others?

XRyche · 22nd January 2015, 05:53

I just have XySubfilter installed on my system as of right now. I'll install DirectVobSub and let you know. What I mean by "seemingly random" is that sometimes the dialogue subs don't appear sometimes the signage subs don't appear. I'll try going back and forth to specific positions and see if that has any bearing on whether they appear or not.
