Hi jean-baptiste (bye j-b lol)
In my test, it goes that way, with 3 files only in this new folder :
I:\videos\try#folder\movie.avi
I:\videos\try#folder\movie.idx
I:\videos\try#folder\movie.sub
Then a double clic on the avi (in windows explorer) opens Vlc with the exact following error message :
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "I:\VIDEOS\try".
VLC can't recognize the input's format:
The format of 'file:///I:/VIDEOS/try%23folder/movie.idx' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details.
This is what shows the menu Video => Subtitle tracks :
Disable (ticked)
Track 1 [english]
Track 2 [french]
Now even if you select Track 1 or 2, no subtitle will appear.
*************
Other tests :
1) No error if it was a .srt file instead of idx/sub files !
So .srt file opens correctly when "#" is in the folder name, but idx/sub never open.
2) Same error with idx/sub if the folder is named try# folder (with a space between # and f) instead of try#folder
3) No more error as soon as the folder is named tryfolder (without #)
Hope this will help.
*************
PS: you asked me to remind you about the "fuzzyness detection" which is a bit ill actually, opening subtitle files that have nothing to do with the avi, for example, with these 3 files in the same folder :
house.avi
Dr Edwards house is white.avi
Dr Edwards house is white.srt
Double clicking on house.avi opens automatically...the "Dr Edwards house is white.srt" ... because the word "house" is found in its title. This happened to me for real !
Maybe you already fixed it ?
