Problem with streamed subtitles

[little_gritche]

Hello,

first of all, I'd like to thank all persons behind this great piece of software.

And now, let's talk about the problem I have

When I stream a video with subtitles with those options, I have to problems at all :

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,film #EXTVLCOPT:sub-file=D:\Temporaire\movies\film.srt #EXTVLCOPT:subsdec-align=0 #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-effect=3 #EXTVLCOPT:sub-fps=0 #EXTVLCOPT:sub-delay=0 #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-color=16776960 #EXTVLCOPT:sub-margin=18 #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-fontsize=36 #EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode{scale=1,soverlay}:duplicate{dst=std{mux=ts}} #EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode:std #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-ab=256 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-acodec=mpga #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-channels=2 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vb=7000 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vcodec=mp2v #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vt=1000000 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-fps=25.0 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-ffmpeg-keyint=24 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-ffmpeg-interlace #EXTVLCOPT:no-sout-ffmpeg-interlace-me #EXTVLCOPT:file-caching=1000 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-udp-caching=300 D:\Temporaire\movies\film.mpg

It works great. I see the video and the subtitles.

But, when I stream the same video with the same subtitle file, with those options :

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,film #EXTVLCOPT:sub-file=D:\Temporaire\movies\film.srt #EXTVLCOPT:subsdec-align=0 #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-effect=3 #EXTVLCOPT:sub-fps=0 #EXTVLCOPT:sub-delay=0 #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-color=16776960 #EXTVLCOPT:sub-margin=18 #EXTVLCOPT:freetype-fontsize=36 #EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode{scale=1,soverlay}:duplicate{dst=std{mux=ts}} #EXTVLCOPT:sout=#duplicate{dst=transcode:std,select=video,dst=display,select=audio} #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vb=7000 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vcodec=mp2v #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vt=1000000 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-fps=25.0 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-ffmpeg-keyint=24 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-ffmpeg-interlace #EXTVLCOPT:no-sout-ffmpeg-interlace-me #EXTVLCOPT:file-caching=1000 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-udp-caching=300 D:\Temporaire\movies\film.mpg

I can't see the subtitles anymore.
The purpose of the second options is to keep the audio played on the computer which acts as a server.
As you can see, the only differences between those two pack of options are :
I use in the first one, for the audio options :

Code: Select all

#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode:std #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-ab=256 #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-acodec=mpga #EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-channels=2

In the second one, the audio options are :

Code: Select all

#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#duplicate{dst=transcode:std,select=video,dst=display,select=audio}

Like I said, there is no problem with the audio or the video. It always acts as it should.
But, in the second case, it seems like the subtitles are not streamed anymore.

Thanks for reading ,

If someone can help me, I would appreciate it a lot.

Have a nice day,

To add more information, I tested under Windows XP with :
- VLC 0.8.5
- and a nightly build of VLC 0.9.0

Thanks

Have a nice day

Got the same problem on my debian server... IMPOSSIBLE to use subtitles :'(


Anyone got a solution?

[dionoea]

the second :sout=... overrides the first one. And you need transcode{soverlay,...} if you want to burn the subs in the movie. Does that answer your questions ?

[dwyd]

ok, i ll try to reencode to use subs,

[little_gritche]

Yes, it seems like it solves my problem

Thanks a lot!
Have a nice week-end
