Bugs with v2.51, and some suggestions

[shablul123]

bugs/suggestions:
1) BSPlayer does not recognize the 64bit version of ac3filter v1.63b.
(it only recognize the 32bit version).

2) after I installed bsplayer v2.51 the subtitle position offset is always changing (it show the subtitle on the middle) when I open my movies.
I think you should default the subtitle position offset to "0".

3) please don't make the "Resize OSD and subtitle font automatically" option enabled by default.

also is there a setting file for bsplayer? (that holds all of the settings, so I will just need to copy the setting file and I will not need to change the settings everytime I install bsplayer).
if yes, what is the name of the setting file and where can I find it?

1) Like in 2.50 - in About dialog string with translator of Russian (me) is blank :(
2) Installed latest K-Lite Mega Pack. Previous versions of BS.Player found all codecs in codecs list (except MPEG2, because I'm using Cyberlink decoder, also from K-Lite). 2.51 says for all codecs: Not Installed.
3) With 2.51 beta included old translations (Russian for example - 1015 build), lang_changes.txt - for 1013. Is it any lang changes?

Normally, when installing a new final version, you can just simply install it over the existing version, without such installation altering your settings. So you don't need to change the settings everytime you install BSPlayer.
It should only occur when you install a beta version over the existing installation, that your settings may indeed be changed.
Further: How do I save my personal settings?

Using New parser\render of subtitles. In MKV-files with many audio and subtitle streams see movie, for example, in English with russian subs. With Shift+S in fullscreen changing audio-stream and subtitle became double or tipple (every string writes 2 or 3 times on screen). And bug not disappeared until I manually rewind movie on 2-3 sec.
On screenshot no picture, because using overlay.

another bug:
when I play my mp4 files (format is x264, extension is mp4) with bsplayer v2.51 - I only hear the sound. but the video is black, like in this picture:
http://i47.tinypic.com/2ugcdig.png
- it only happens with MP4 files (I mean the extension of the files is mp4 not avi).
- with VLC player those files play nicely (I can see the video and hear the sound)
-I have both ffdshow and coreavc installed (+hali medai splitter)
-I can play HD/Xvid dfiles just fine.

other bugs with v2.51:
1) with the "new subtitle parer/renderer" my hebrew subtitle loads with a delay..
2) with the "new subtitle parer/renderer" my hebrew subtitle loads, but the text is not in order..bsplayer loads the text in a mess (inverted)
3) seems like you did not fix the external subtitle loading.
bsplayer still loads the internal subtitle and not the external.
Add option to prefer external subtitles over internal

And one small suggestion...
I'm often use 'Boss key' at work (really good thing in BS :)) with options "Pause" and "Hide to tray". But if, after that, I'm locking computer and then unlock it, BS.Player appears in fullscreen mode. Really bad thing, if Boss is near... :(
Please, fix this :)

another bug with v2.51:
- bsplayer *sometimes* DOES NOT automatically loads the subtitle (that are in the same directory of the movie) and even when I manually loads it, it sometimes does not show up.
also when I minimize bsplayer movie window and maximize it again to full screen then the subtitle is sometimes not loaded (disappear) and sometimes it loads the subtitle in VERY BIG font size (I see it only for seconds) and then it use the default font size.
additionally, WHEN I load the subtitle, the video got distorted for a second.

of course "Auto load any subtitles in currect directory" option is checked.
and this is not a problem with the subtitle file (.srt) because it also happen with every subtitles I use for different movies.
also this is not a problem with v2.51, because it also happen with v2.50.

by the way I use coreavc for hd (mkv) decoding and ffdshow for the rest (ac3/xvid/divx etc.)

for me it set the subtitle font size to 71!.
