v0.86.494; .BSI files and subtitle section

Hi

Using Bsplay v0.86 Build 494, on Winxp Sp1

I am using .BSI files, to start up a movie with several subtitle choices, but i have problems. The file looks like this:

Code:

[Movie]
Title="MyMovie.avi"
Directory=.
FName="mymovie.avi"

[Subtitles] 
Directory=.
Sub1=Danish|"subs-dk-mymovie.sub"
Sub2=Swedish|"subs-se-mymovie.sub"
Font=0;Arial Black;24;0;16777215

This above .BSI file won't work.. The subtitle file has to have the same name as the .AVI file, except for the extension. If i rename the file "subs-dk-mymovie.sub" to "mymovie.sub", then it will work. This will also limit the available subtitle choices to 1, unless you use different formats...

what if you don't use quotes for the file names ? (they're not needed)

Code:

Sub1=Danish|subs-dk-mymovie.sub

instead of

Code:

Sub1=Danish|"subs-dk-mymovie.sub"

you could use the following naming rule:
mymovie.dk.sub
mymovie.se.sub

it should work too (the bsi solution is of course better)

I have tried with and without quotes, since i would suspect subtitle filename with spaces, would cause problems, this did however not solve my problem.

Strange.. tried this on another movie, and now it works. And you are right, is has to be without doublequotes.

Also works with multiple subtitles :D

My mistake :oops:
