Thanks for the link, but can someone tell me where I can view the embedded VLC codecs and their version.
Unfortunately in Input/Codecs > Subtitle codec: does not appear SubStation Alpha/SSA

So no one tells me where I can see the embedded VLC codecs and their version ??

Just wanted to add a "me too" to the list. I didn't do a ton of research when this happened, as I was doing a group-watch thing... This happened on the first file loaded which have embedded ssa subs. This is a new install on a fairly boisterous lappy with an 8-core, 10th gen CPU (5ghz slightly boosted) and an NVidia RTX2070. vroom.

I uninstalled and installed 3.0 and natch is fine. Is this a case of a missing .dll from the 3.0.12 release/drop?

Anyway - for the time being I've got to avoid the "Do you want to install 3.0.xx now?" prompt when I launch
I know I can probably grab a .dll for ssa but, considering that this was not a problem with previous builds I am considering that 3.0.12 might be re-built/patched to include the library, so figure I might wait for it.

As I said - just a "Me too" - no support or assistance required, unless the team is going to recommend that users gather up their own libraries for annoyances like these ssa subs going forward

Cheers,
S Francis

Interesting. But v3.0.12 works for me so far with the few MKV+SSA sample files I have.
Can you upload a short sample of your original problematic file to Zippyshare.com or to WeTransfer.com and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

100 MB max should be enough.
