Captions/Subtitles not working on ActiveX Plugin

[rodin]

Hi all,
I've been trying to get subtitles/captioning working on my web plugin Internet Explorer page, but have been unsuccessful in doing so. I currently have a Javascript file (.js) that is called from the main index.html file, everything works except for this.. It used to work previously using this same code, but seems to have stopped after an update. I am utilizing UDP streams.

Here's the portion of .js code:

Code: Select all

function doCaptionsOn() { getVLC("vlc").video.subtitle = "1"; } function doCaptionsOff() { getVLC("vlc").video.subtitle = "0"; }

Here's the part of the code calling the captions.. It is a button call..

Code: Select all

<input type="button" id='Captions' value='Enable Captions' onclick='doCaptions();' /> &nbsp; <input type="button" id='Captions' value='Disable Captions' onclick='doCaptionsOff();' /> &nbsp;

Any ideas?

Yes. Please try a nightly build.

I was using nightly for 2.2.0 before it became official and no captions then, either. I think it broke in 2.0.x something..?

Either way, I am running nightly 2.2.1 and still no captions from my UDP stream, although they do work in the player.

Can you do the list of subtitles ID?

Thanks! I was able to finally get it working by changing this:

Code: Select all

function doCaptionsOn() { getVLC("vlc").video.subtitle = "1"; } function doCaptionsOff() { getVLC("vlc").video.subtitle = "0"; }

to this:

Code: Select all

function doCaptions(value) { var vlc = getVLC("vlc"); if( vlc ) { vlc.subtitle.track = 1; } } function doCaptionsOff() { var vlc = getVLC("vlc"); if( vlc ) { vlc.subtitle.track = 0; } }

Didn't realize the command changed from subtitle to subtitle.track. thanks for the help!

Just to make sure -- was this option disabled recently in entirety and being re-released with 2.2.1?

Weird. video.subtitle is deprecated for years.
