VLC can't display some lines of srt subtitle file

Postby kevincai » 10 Aug 2016 10:39

In srt files, if a front line's start time is later than the bottom line's, than the bottom line won't display in VLC.
For example:

Code: Select all

100 01:44:13,416 --> 01:44:16,708 some text 101 02:02:06,791 --> 02:02:09,885 another text 102 01:47:40,250 --> 01:47:44,791 this line can't display 103 01:58:31,261 --> 01:58:33,625 so does this line
Line 102 and 103 can't display. Other player like MPC-HC read those SRT files without any issue.
This situation often happens, especially in translated srt files when stuff is merged from several translators' files. So i hope this can be fixed.

Unfortunately, we will not fix that. Those files are broken.
