SolveigMM MKV DirectShow Demuxer + Muxer Testing

[littleD]

OK, styled subtitles works. I found that ffdshow by default load external str sub and doesnt allow change stream to internal one. When i remove srt file, ffdshow load internal sub, but font is so big...

When i use ffdshow for DXVA and subs, in icon tray i see as no_named subtitle stream "A: ". Weird, It shouldt be "S: "? Bug of splitter or ffdshow?

Concerning forced flag. It can be set for any stream. Is it possible to play simultaneously two subs, or maybe two audio files?

Hi,
According to me the rules with default and forced subs flag should be:
1- If at least one track has default flag set then select this track (Highest priority and should override forced flag)
2- If forced flag is set then the splitter should automatically select the subs track with the same language as the current audio track (selected audio track), example if audio track is in French by default then select the forced French subs stream if exists (Else select "No subs"), if English audio stream get selected then automatically switch to the forced English subs stream if exists(Else select "No subs"), and so on.

Christophe

That's exactly how I thought it should work too. Then, streams flagged "forced" would always load, and if no "forced" streams are found, then no subs are loaded. Also, the user always would have the option to override the flags, and select any stream.

I could go with that model.

[Stanislav Mikhailenko]

This from matroska spec:
Flag Default - Set if that track (audio, video or subs) SHOULD be used if no language found matches the user preference.
Flag Forced - Set if that track MUST be used during playback. There can be many forced track for a kind (audio, video or subs), the player should select the one which language matches the user preference or the default + forced track. Overlay MAY happen between a forced and non-forced track of the same kind.

Flags Are applied to tracks, not for separate samples.

[SamuriHL]

Alrighty then.

If you use mpc-hc menu Play->Filters->SMM MKV Splitter should show right tracks. Can't say anything about ffdshow.

Language will certainly greatly improve it. What i would really love however would be to simply dump a quick format recap in there, like the MPC-HC internal MPEG splitter does.

Just show what codec, for video what resolution, for audio how many channels and possibly bitrate.

I have yet to encounter a file that actually had a track name set in the mkv.

Additionally, all subtitles did show "No Subtitles". For subs the language would be enough, i guess. Showing there if a subs track is "forced" would be good, i guess.

Short of the shortcomings in the dropdowns, it seems to work beautifully now. The "lag" during startup i reported before seems to be gone, good job guys.
Now if we just had a proper MPEG-TS splitter to go with this. Anyone have the full (and latest) MPEG-TS spec and wants to share, so i can work on it?

About "insert vobsubs filter if available" ? No, it's not done yet. Or is there another problem with it.

[mata7]

yeah about insert vobsubs filter if was available, thanks

I didn't see this thread before. At the moment, this is the only application I found that let me mux TS files with mixed fields/MBAFF video. Mkvtoonix doesn't have support for TS files and it can't handle this kind of video properly, when it's demuxed to an elementary stream.

Thank you Dmitry. Saludos

This is also causing issues with Media Control inside Media Center. The Audio tracks are listed as subtitles and there are no subtitle tracks listed (although it plays the default one). The video track is also identified as an audio track at least in media control. All that being said....

WOW

I have been struggling getting adequate performance from my blu-ray rips with HD Audio bitstream. Your splitter is hands done the best of the bunch. Files that would stutter in MPC-HC's standalone filter or Haali play smooth as silk with yours. If it played nicer with Media Control to allow for audio and subtitle switching, it would be nirvana. I honestly can't believe there is not more discussion about your splitter. I am very pleased to have found it.
