VLC problem playing M3U with subtitles command

Postby kevandju » 06 Feb 2010 07:09

I can't get VLC to play subtitles when giving either of these commands.

vlc :sub-track=0 --fullscreen "C:\Users\Kevin\TestDVD.m3u"
vlc "C:\Users\Kevin\TestDVD.m3u" :sub-track=0 --fullscreen

The contents of my .m3u are:

#EXTM3U
dvdsimple://D:\
vlc://quit

The results of both commands are the movie playing fullscreen with no subs and a dialog box that pops up and says "VLC could not open the file ":sub-track=0"".

If I do this command "vlc dvdsimple://D:\ :sub-track=0 --fullscreen" everything plays fine with the subs.

Am I missing something here? Thanks for the help!!!

--sub-track=0 works any better?

Yes that worked --sub-title=0 instead of :sub-title=0


Thanks for your help!
