The bug is in the subtitle itself. It uses a font that does not contain that music note character, nor has a compatible fallback font.

These renderers do not support replacing missing glyphs and it also can not be added easily.

If that's how it is, it's the typesetter's fault. Unfortunately, something like that is not so uncommon...

A quick (possibly ugly) workaround for an XySubFilter user may be "Force Default" in the Main tab of XySubFilter. A pre-set Default font, Arial, does support U+266B ♫. If MPC-HC + Internal sub renderer, then Right-click > Subtitle Tracks > Enable Default. Either way, you may have to tweak the Default style (like font size, or font name if you don't like Arial). Common Windows fonts that support this code point include: Arial & Times New Roman.

A real solution is, editing the subtitle data and changing ♫ to {\fnLucida Console}♫{\fn}, for example. There is another solution using {\p}, directly drawing the glyph; but that's rather complicated and not really softsub-friendly, while more flexible (you can draw any symbols, not even in Unicode).

"Force Default" potential issue

Even if you enable "Force Default" in the Properties, \r-based user-side styles from SSA/ASS can't be overridden.
Tested: XySubFilter 3.2.0.806 (git) xy-VSFilter.

MPC-BE + Internal subtitle renderer can do this overriding perfectly.

I can't make it work for me for the life of me. I've been using the 2.41.322 with the exe installer and that version works fine. I can select it in MPC-HC and MPC-BE. Also have it in the list in the External filters. But when I use this .bat installer nothing happens, like it's not installed. It even says **not installed** in the Subtitle renderer seletion. What am I duing wrong?!

From Readme.txt:
Quote:
Right-click Install_XySubFilter.bat and select "Run as administrator"
Did you do that or simply double clicked the .bat file?

Also, if you use 32-bit player then you need to install 32-bit filter; if you use 64-bit player then you need to install 64-bit filter.

Right click and Run as admin. I use 64-bit player.

Dude, I've already told you, 64bit, the latest version. Downloaded from the link in the first post of this thread.

Hello, I have an Avisynth question for VSFilter, I am wondering if it is possible to mask VOBSUB on top of a transparent RGBA clip. I have a very specific use case for it which is to transcode to RGBA cineform from Virtualdub. See this script which works for text based subtitles:
Code:
V=LWLibavVideoSource("00000 - 2 - h264, 1080p24.mkv")
MaskSub("subs.ass",V.width,V.height,V.framerate,V.framecount)
FlipVertical()
If I load it in Virtualdub with transparency set to checkerboard, I can verify the alpha works as intended, and the eventual encoded clip is imported into Adobe Premiere Pro where the alpha is also interpreted correctly:


However masksub does not work with VOBSUB picture based subs. I thought to simply use the VobSub filter on top of an RGB32 BlankClip however the resulting clip is completely transparent to Vdub, and the resulting encode has no opaque subs in Premiere Pro either. I don't think this is a Vdub bug as I can encoded the AVS file with FFmpeg with Avisynth support and it also ends up being a transparent clip.
Code:
V=LWLibavVideoSource("00000 - 2 - h264, 1080p24.mkv")
B=BlankClip(V,pixel_type="RGB32")
VobSub(B,"00000 - 2 - h264, 1080p24_Track04._PGS_exp.sub")


Is it possible to overlay VOBSUB over a transparent RGB32/RGBA clip to get the same result as MaskSub in Avisynth+ 3.7?

Looks like Ferenc Pintér ported a few fixes:

Thanks, didn't know development still lived on. Love it when the community revives a beloved project.

Is the pinterf fork where we can expect fixes/improvements to live on, à la clsid/MPC-HC?

Do these new version save settings under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Gabest\XySubFilter or somewhere else?

Reason I ask is that I would like to have two different versions of xysubfilter with different settings installed and this might come in handy.

If there is a trick to do the same anyway, I'm all ears.

(I want to have different colors and transparencies for SDR and HDR subtitles... using assfiltermod works but that does not handle PGS subs, which from time to time can be used if I can't find SRTs)

EDIT: tried installing but it saves settings in the usual Gabest location in the registry. So the question becomes, is there any way to change this, in order to have two different xysubfilter installs with separate settings? I suspect the only way is to recompile and I'm far from having a building environment set up on my machines. Apart from not knowing where to edit stuff (although I suspect there shouldn't be too much to edit).

EDIT 2: I know of no other way to have subtitles not blindingly bright in HDR content. If I set them ok for HDR, they are scarcely visible in SDR. I still use Kodi DSPlayer, that needs an external filter for subs.

Follow up to my post about a new version:
This branch's version of DirectVobSub has a bug that causes stability issues when trying to release some of the interfaces when used with EVR as the video renderer (no issue with the xySubFilter version for MadVR).

gfxnow:
I'm not sure, I was using a xySubFilter v3.2.806 in Zoom Player which was having issues when using EVR (wouldn't connect), I then upgraded to v3.2.809 and it has the bug I just wrote about.
I wrote the maintainer of this Git to see if he's willing to look into it.

mpc-hc has libass support now in the ISR. the option is hiden under: option subtitles -> default style.
and that should be the way forward for subtitles.

even through it looks like it is currently utterly broken.
edit: don't use a sub picture buffer and it seem to be fine.

Yes but xySubFilter with MadVR is more than just libass.

I made a fixed test build, 3.2.0.810. If it works for you I'll release it. Thanks. This bug - if this was the bug - existed since 3.2.0.804.
