dougdude9 0 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm a long time fan of Media Browswer and I'm still using Media Browser 3 until I have time to check out this new "Theater" I hear about. Anyway, I tried watching a movie tonight that I know has subtitles in the mkv... there are no external subtitle files. When I play the mkv movie in VLC, I get subtitles. When I play in in MB3 Classic, I don't get any subtitles. I clicked on the system tray LAV splitter and thought I found the issue... it was set on no subtitles. However, I change it and it didn't make a difference... I tried all the settings. I also went into properties and changed the subtitle settings there with no luck. I have to be missing something, right? Or do I have a version of LAV (.60.1 x64) that has a bug? Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it is supposed to work? Thanks, DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdude9 0 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well, still no dice. I loaded the latest LAV filters and I still get no subtitles when I play it in Media Browser. If I play it with VLC, I get subtitles. ANyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 19 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I don't use Win 8.1, so this may be a short and sweet conversation lol. What player are you using (mpc-hc as an external player or internal WMC)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgriffith 65 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I use Sharks Codec pack (and have done since he first started producing them) and it installs LAV filters which work fine for me. I only use the Standard packs, as anything in the advanced pack is not needed for purely playback, install both 32bit & 64bit. I always use 'Shark007 SUGGESTED settings' and never had an issue.

steelman1991 19 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Agreed though I haven't had the need to use them for sometime - the dev certainly puts a lot of work into providing correct set-up. I did have to use them, as you did with 'Suggested' settings, however I think that was purely to get pgs subs to correctly display in WMC. For most, LAV and a subtitle renderer (xy-VSFilter) are likely to provide correct playback and render and a slightly lighter codec footprint. However difficult to tell which way to go until we find out how the OP is playing his files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
