Hi j-b
With 0.8.6 (c and d) i do not have the problems with hebrew subtitles that others reported here.
The subtitles are created by some python code i wrote, in utf-8, with unicode CTL codes added. ( I work with translators, and prepare their texts for use by software that creates subtitle images, usually Belle Nuit, and it needs the CTL codes.)
The CTL codes used are RLE (RtL Embed) at the start of each line,
and PDF (Pop Directional Format) at the end of each line.
Embedded latin text and digits come out the right way round.
But there is one problem:
the CTL codes are shown on screen;
exactly how depends on the font being used,
usually a large empty square.
What chance this will be fixed? It may be easy?
MPC already does it right, but i'd rather use VLC, if possible.
Tried the 2008 Feb 19 nightly build, but don't see any video.
not even a blank screen. tried with an mp4 and an mpg.
can hear the sound OK.
best
