Hi,

so far , i have changed chinese ttf (Fallback.ttf) correctly , but chinese srt can not be show correctly , i check the encoding style , it seems that encoding mode were not set from java layer to libvlc ,right ? is there any wany to set the encoding mode ?

Thanks in advance!

supplementary: srt file perhaps not normal, sometimes it can show correctly , mostly it can not show corectlly . thanks!

hi, once i changed srt file to utf-8 manually , it can show correctly ,perhaps vlc can not decode srt file automatically ,and set encoding function do not work so far. can you share me when the function will add to master ?

and i fount there are some two-window srt(see below) that can not be shown on vlc , but it can be show on other kinds of players with two-windows chinese subtiltle .

There is an option in settings to change the subtitle encoding.

can libvlc play http video stream (mkv file in http server) and select local subtitle file on the phone ? i did some tests ,it seems not work.

Hi ,i did same tests on laptop's vlc player (mkv from http server , srt from local disk) , it can work ;
it seem that android's vlc player have a lot difference with laptop's vlc.

attach my codes:
// Create a new media player
mLibVLC = LibVLC.getInstance();
mMediaListPlayer = new MediaListPlayer(mLibVLC);
mLibVLC.setHardwareAcceleration(LibVLC.HW_ACCELERATION_DISABLED);

mLibVLC.setAout(LibVLC.AOUT_AUDIOTRACK);
mLibVLC.setTimeStretching(true);
mLibVLC.setVerboseMode(true);
mLibVLC.setRate(1);
//mLibVLC.setFrameSkip(true); //NOTE
//if(LibVlcUtil.isGingerbreadOrLater())
mLibVLC.setVout(LibVLC.VOUT_ANDROID_WINDOW);
//else
//mLibVLC.setVout(LibVLC.VOUT_ANDROID_SURFACE);


if(srt_exist == true)
{
mLibVLC.setSubtitlesEncoding(GVRUtils.getEncoding(mSrtPath));
mLibVLC.addSubtitleTrack(mSrtPath);
Log.d(TAG, "srt_exist:" + srt_exist + " : " + mSrtPath + ":" + GVRUtils.getEncoding(mSrtPath));
}


mLibVLC.restart(this); // nativeinit called in restart function,pls NOTE the call flow
EventHandler.getInstance().addHandler(mHandler);
mSurfaceView.setKeepScreenOn(true);
mMediaListPlayer.getMediaList().clear();
mMediaListPlayer.getMediaList().add(new Media(mLibVLC, LibVLC.PathToURI(media)));
mMediaListPlayer.playIndex(0);

mLibVLC.eventVideoPlayerActivityCreated(true);

can libvlc play http video stream (mkv file in http server) and select local subtitle file on the phone ? i did some tests ,it seems not work.

Yes. In fact, it is already done in the official VLC app.

feedbacks：

change the codes below to the end of create player ,it seems work!
mLibVLC.addSubtitleTrack(mSrtPath);
