Multi audio still sux, but now at least plays the avi. (but the ac3 stream doesn't play... :( )

Embedded subtitle stream: what kind of format?

Improved: what is improved?

Any ideas?

[najt]

I don't get it. The zoom is the same, the subtitle font is the same and smi subs don't work anymore. what the hell are they smoking at philips?!?

And I guess you've already noticed that multi audio works well except that it can't play ac3 audio.

And some avi files with only 1 ac3 audio that worked with 4.1.19 it is not working with 4.1.26

hell.

I read in some forum that ac3 does not work if you play an avi with mp3 sound before.
Maybe thats the problem ?

[new_age]

I've tried an avi with two ac3 stream. It is also doesn't work.

I hope there will be a new fw release soon.

Anyway 4.1.26 corrects a lot of bugs:

Eg.

- xvid b-frames playback error
- 4.1.19 doesn't play _any_ avi with 2 or more audio streams
- audio delay problems are now corrected

and the new property dialog is cool ;-)

But the problems (In my opinion the biggest is the ac3 stream bugs that didn't exist in .19) you can see above.

It's your choice.

Are the subtitles still showed with _YELLOW_ colur ??

[RobertR]

Yes, they are still yellow. Personally i don't see anything wrong with it at all. There should just be some black outline.

What is the improvement of subtitles? I wasn't able to run subtitles before and after update. Is there some required format for subtitles?
Is it possible to switch between latin and cyrillic fonts of subtitle?
