Matroska "timing" problem

[Haruka]

I have a problem with matroska files and BSPlayer. The problem comes up with builds 808 and 812(currently using) both.

I have several .mkv files I've tried playing with BSPlayer. The audio and video seem to work just fine. But the player apparently can't read the time code: it shows the file's length to be 00:00:00 / 00:00:00, and the scroll bar (which shows the file timeline) is "full" (ie. at the end of the file). Thus I can't skip around in the file, and have no way to see how much I've already watched and how much there's left.

Anybody familiar with the problem?

Edit: my brother just pointed out, that it seems the subtitles aren't working either.. So it seems to be a codec problem?

I had similar problem - not to be able to "scroll" in movie (but if I remember correctly it happened only for some - newer - movies). Upgrading to to latest mkv splitter solved it. (http://packs.matroska.org/). You can try upgrade (if you don't have latest) and see if it helps too.

Ok, newest Matroska driver pack installed. Fixed the "scrolling" problem. Thank you.

The subtitles still seem to be missing, though :P

Since you didn't mention in what format subtitles are (external or embedded; dvd .sub, txt .sub/.srt/.ssa) it's hard to give some meaningful advice. Try installing vobsub filter and see if it helps (but be aware you can get "double" subs - displayed by both BSPlayer and DirectVobSub - just try playing with options in DVS). I have to admit that I finally gave up on playing OGM/MKV with BSPlayer and I use MediaPlayerClassic for OGM/MKV and BSPlayer for AVI/MOV/MPG.
