avi and .sub .idx file

[snadam]

I'm having the same issue as OZChilly, my movie, .sub and .idx are in the same directory and are named the same yet no subtitles appear. For specifics you can see my post in the bug reports forum.

Cheers,
Adam

(There is no bug: in PC version its implemented and working; in Android version it simply isn't a feature yet, as explained in Ico-man's post.)

Peter,
Here's a quote taken directly from the BSPlayer download page of the Android Market
"- External and embedded subtitles ssa/ass, srt, sub..."
The quote is at least a bit misleading. I downloaded BS Player specifically because of that quote.

So now the real question is, do you plan to add the ability to play graphic based .sub files on the Android platform any time soon?

Thanks,
Adam

Unfortunately there is .sub as text based and .sub/idx as graphic ripped subtitles, and this can lead to some misunderstanding (because text based .sub can be played).
As stated above by Ico man, who is a member of the developping team, sub/idx support will be implemented in future versions of android player.

adicoto,
Thanks for clarifying that, I somehow missed it; I guess I need to work on my reading comprehension skills. Thanks for your patience.

Maybe an update to the Android Market product description saying that it plays "some sub" or "text based sub" or something along those lines will help to reduce time wasting forum posts like mine.
