Default new-lines in unicode subtitles

Hello,

I'm using Bsplayer on my sister's computer to find out, if
my created OGM-files are playable on windows.

My system (debian gnu/linux) runs completely with unicode,
and I used ogmmerge
(http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/ogmtools/index.html)
to merge a divx-stream, two oggvorbis-streams, one chapter-file
and one SRT-subtitle file into one ogg-file ...

With mplayer the result is great, but Bsplayer draws only a box
instead of a new-line ... doesn't matter what character-set I select ...

could that be a bug in Bsplayer? I could put some example-movies
online, if someone is interrested.

sorry for my bad English

(I'm not 100% sure of what I write below)

I believe linux/unix systems usually use only Chr(10) as a line feed whereas many windows apps (e.g. notepad) require Chr(10)Chr(13)

Therefore these windows apps often don't read unix-produced text files correctly.
I believe some conversion utilities exist that will add theChr(13) when needed

otherwise it could be an improvement in bsplayer's subs display engine...

hmm ...
unix uses "\n" (newline), dos uses "\r\n" (carriage return, newline)
(as far as I know)

but that is not responsable ... I converted my SRT-subtitle file into
the MicroDVD subtitle format, which uses "|" for newlines ...
with the same (bad) result.

The error must be in ogmmerge or in bsplayer ...

-----

I have uploaded some test-files (about 10 MB)
( http://www.hurg.org/bsplayer.tar.gz )

Bsplayer displays the subtitles correct, if they are read from an extern
file ... but if ogmmerge is buggy, why mplayer displays them right,
if they are in an ogm-file ?!

Hello,

I wrote an email to the ogmmerge developer and he fixed this "bug" ...
Here is a part of the ChangeLog of the new version 1.0.0:

Quote:
- Newlines in subtitles are converted to DOS style newlines (\r\n) as
some Windows players (e.g. BSPlayer) do not cope with a single \n.
