MBT subtitles not working

[space2001 18]

Trying to play Avatar with the subtitles and no matter what settings I choose they don't show up.

 

I hit * and went to select the subtitles and nothing.

 

Thanks for this program.

See beginning of the MBT public alpha thread.  I'm assuming these are external subtitles?  Right now externals don't work.  You could always merge the files into an mkv.  I can confirm subtitles and subtitle turning on/off work with mkv.

its a mkv with subtitles in it.

 

Used makemkv.

enable the lav splitter tray icon, and then use that to verify that lav is recognizing the subtitles contained within the file.

[space2001 18]

Yes lav is recognizing the subtitles but they are not being displayed

same mkv in vlc sub work fine.

[Luke 42077]

are they available to pick from in the OSD using *?

[space2001 18]

yes they are

[Luke 42077]

then it's something to do with syvsfilter. try fiddling wit that.

[space2001 18]

tried paying with it still can't get it to work.

Same for me here, mkv-embedded subtitles do not work (they do on the web client). I'll try your suggestions later today.

space2001 - not convinced your mkv header settings or xy-vsfilter settings are correct. Headers can be checked by using mkvmerge/file/Header Editor - part of the mkvtoolnix package. If you want purely the 'forced' subtitle, you need to set the 'header', on the appropriate subtitle track, to 'forced', then save.

 

MakeMKV had issues in the past correctly saving the headers. Try it and see if it helps. I also have xy-vsfilter installed and configured to 'only show forced subtitles'

Tried remuxing and still no subs? this is weird.

 

All my movies with Subs do not work.

 

Any other help.

 

Thanks.

A little OT but is there any key shortcut to change subtitles or audio track so I could assign it to my imon remote?

* key brings up the OSD.

[makakam 2]

What I meant was toggling between subs or audio tracks with a key combo assigned to a particular key on my remote without having  to bring up the osd.

[yardameus 221]

Will it play/show the subtitles in Windows Media Player?

You got a screenshot of LAV Splitter config and/or xy-vsfilter config screens and mkvmerge showing a file loaded with the subtitle stream you expect to see highlighted?

Look up earlier in the thread with my screens.

 

I tried John Carter which has alien speaking parts as subtitles.  Does not work as well. Works fine in XBMC and VLC

[steelman1991 19]

Those aren't any of the screenshots I asked you for though - they don't show any of the config screens or the mkvmerge screen.

Sorry will have to do it tonight.

 

But everything is at it defaults from install.

[space2001 18]

 

are these the screens?

[Luke 42077]

i wouldn't necessarily mess with your video files. this is all still very early and of course future releases will bring more stability. i am guessing it's something to do with xyvsfilter.

Thanks Luke
