Make BS.Player support embedded subtitles.

[psycho-player]

It would be nice if BS.Player would support embedded subtitles with it's own subtitle renderer, so no vsfilter/vobsub would be required!

This feature would especially come in handy with HD .mkv files that also include subtitles, which can now only be used if one has vsfilter/vobsub enabled. But that brakes DxVA support and that sucks.

By default, BSPlayer plays embedded subtitles, especially in HD MKVs. Which build are you running ?

[psycho-player]

That's weird. I have the latest (well almost) build - 2.52 Build 1031. If I disable vsfilter/vobsub, I get the folowing error:

Can anybody please help me with this?

I would appreciate it.

Strange having a vobsub subtitle inside an MKV container. On topic, do you use old subtitle rendering engine or the new one ? (options -> preferences -> subtitles )

[psycho-player]

Yes, every now and then, I get .mkv file that has VobSub subtitles embedded.

I am using the old subtitle renderer. I don't really know what the differences are, but I would be glad if someone could explain them to me - it can be very technical and with all the details, as I'm very perceptible with computer stuff.

Anyway, now that you mentioned this, I have also tried to switch to the new subtitle renderer and the only difference is, that I don't get the beforementioned error message anymore, still, I get no subtitles. BS.Player shows that they are enabled, it even gives me the option to chose between different languages and all, but subtitles just don't show.

I have also tried all my .mkv archive and the ones that don't include embedded VobSub subtitles, do work totally OK with BS.Player - no vsfilter/vobsub needed... still it would be nice if BS.Player could support embedded VobSub subtitles too, as I have mentioned - that enables DxVA then and this is becoming more and more important with HD content being more and more present each day.

I'm going to propose something a bit different this time and I thought I should use this thread instead of starting a new one.

Besides BS.Player supporting embedded VobSub subtitles it would be awesome if it would support embedded XSUB subtitles, which can for now only be played with the "official" DivX Player. That would rock! Is it doable?
