VLC android disable track

Postby brbcod1 » 26 Jun 2020 14:26

Hello, I noticed that there's no method on the MediaPlayer for disabling a track.
In particular, I'm looking for a way to disable a subtitle track.
I turn it on with the setSpuTrack method, then, to disable it, I tried with a high value (like 99) and a negative value (like -1) but the subtitles don't get disabled.
Am I missing something or there's no way to disable a track?
Thanks!

Are you sure the subtitles are a track (and not burned in)? Because setSputrack should be the right thing to do.

Yes it's a track, not burned in.
In my example, the video starts without subtitles and I turn it on with setSpuTrack(2).
Then, I want to allow the user to disable them again.

No, even setSpuTrack(0) doesn't disable them

Hi,

setSpuTrack(-1) should disable it, according to EsSpuCallback in vlc3 core and the VLC Android code.

Since it doesn't work for you but works for libvlc android, we'll need more information about your setup. What version of libvlc are you linking ?

Hi, I ended up upgrading to the latest version and the problem seems to be fixed now, using setSpuTrack(-1).
Thanks!
