The VideoLAN Forums

I'm currently working on a project that makes use of iOS VLCKit. I'm trying to use the VLCThumbnailer class and while it does generate a thumbnail, I'm also getting an alert view popping up that says "Codec not supported- VLC could not decode the format SSA "(Substation Alpha subtitles)."

Yes the MKV file does use SSA subtitles, but I'm pretty sure VLCKit would support it. The App Store version of VLC plays these same files just fine (and the thumbnailer seems to work fine there as well). I'd be happy to just ignore it but how can I suppress these alertviews from popping up?

For now, you need to compile VLCKit yourself and in VLCLibrary.m, remove the "iOS Dialog Provider" option from the default configuration. That should do the trick.
