subtitle auto load at play

Postby bavv » 10 Mar 2006 08:36

Hi, I am wondering how to autorun the subtitle file.

Each time I clicked a video file with subtitle, I had to right_click; subtitles track; and then select track 1;

Also in the playlist, I want to autoload it.

thank you for your time.

I'm not sure that the playlist is what you really want?? Most if not all is available in Preferences, Input / Codecs, General or Video, Subtitles/OSD

Sorry! There is no way to autoload subs at the moment.

You can set the default subtitle track to 0 or 1 instead of -1 in the prefs:
Input/Codecs -> General (you need to check "Advanced options" in order to see the option)

I wonder - I find myself getting totaly confused when trying to set something in the preps when all the values are nonfriendly numeric values.
Wouldn't it be much more convinient for users and programmers if all those numeric prefs (-1, 0, 1) were more human friendly phrases?
(Something like none, Track 1, track 2 etc. for the subtitles example)

Or even go further and change all (or some) of the comboboxes to dropdown menus with pre-set values?

Perhaps this should have read "External Subtitles"! I tried last night for about an hour, every conceivable combination of trying to get an external sub to load without doing is manually through the Open File Box. All the subtitle styles are named the same as the video file they belong to and exist in the proper directories. Never did get it to work for any sub type tried.

dionoea is correct however, internal or external subs once loaded can be preselected.

You have to set all at 1 in video, subtitle and audio like dionocea say.

thank you very much.
