Sorry, but that MPC-HC screenshot does not look like Myriad Web Pro Condensed or Arista 2.0 or Surface... They all look the same. No, I did not mean it uses the "same" (as in "correct") fonts ( Myriad, Arista, Surface )... I meant that MPC-HC and VLC for iOS [/color] use the &qu...

Well, it does not use the same font either: look at the Suzumiya part. The iOS port seems to always use the same font , but with different styles/sizes . You're talking about the MPC-HC screenshot, right? Yes, it uses different fonts . But its font choices are better than VLC 's... :roll: What crit...

I've just checked and this problem does not occur in the iOS port of VLC.
All subtitles are rendered correctly with the same default font.

We pushed it back a bit but it's still coming. Actually, it is not the implementation of SMB to blame here but further adaptions which needs to be done like safely handling stored passwords, etc.

Good to know that this useful feature has not been crossed out!
Looking forward to it!

We successfully implemented the entire SMB protocol in version 1 and 2 as an external library now and it works well. Now, VLC needs to be adapted and it will be available. So, this feature will be published later this summer. SMB support seems to still be absent in the latest version of VLC for iOS...

Hello! For quite some time now, I have noticed that VLC has some trouble rendering correctly some ASS subtitles. For example, this is how a subtitle is (incorrectly) shown in VLC : http://i60.tinypic.com/eikpjp.jpg and this is how it is (correctly) shown in MPC-HC : http://i62.tinypic.com/2wqahdi.jp...

By " subtitles that are embedded in the video " do you mean an MKV file with SSA subtitles? :P For setting a specific language/track automatically I never tried it... :-| Maybe there's a bug in those options you mentioned! :roll: But for setting it manually , go to " Tools -> Codec in...

That's great news!
Looking forward for that version and some nice summer movie sessions!

If I understood correctly, the libsmb license does not conform with the Apple App Store guidelines... :-| What about the FreeBSD smbfs library ? :P And I have not tried them, but there's also a lightweight iOS library named tango and another one named smb4ios ! :wink: Edit: Never mind, just got some...

How's the progress with SMB support in VLC for iOS?
It would be really useful to have access to videos stored in Windows Shared Folders!

So, If I understood correctly, if the files are on Dropbox , you have to finish downloading them before you start can watching ? :? No streaming on Dropbox yet, then? :( If/when streaming is implemented, it would also be nice if it automatically fetched the corresponding subtitle file , if present! ...
