Subtitles problems in Matroska video

elguaxo · #1 (**permalink**) 10th September 2004

I am using BSPlayer 1.00 Build 810. I have problems displaying subtitles in a Matroska video file. The file is encoded in DivX/AAC and requires VSFilter to display the subtitles. The VSFilter does not even load when playing the file with BSPlayer.

I have all the latests filters:
DivX 5.2.1
VSFilter 2.33 (set to LOAD WHEN NEEDED or even ALWAYS LOAD)
Matroska Splitter 1.0.2.4
CoreAAC 1.0b9

The subtitles display fine if I play the files on the same machine using Zoomplayer 4.03 Standard or even Windows Media Player 9!

Any hints? Thanks.

I just installed BSPlayer 1.01 Build 811 and the Subtitle problem is still there.

The VSFilter does not even load for displaying the subtitles when playing these files with BSPlayer, and it works fine if I play them with Zoomplayer 4.03 Standard or even Windows Media Player 9!

Any hints? Thanks.

It will be fixed in next build also VobSub subtitles will be supported in one of next builds.
For now you can put in bspfilters.dat this lines:

[BSPlayer filter def file]
AddFilter {93A22E7A-5091-45ef-BA61-6DA26156A5D0},Vobsub

Also look in bspfilters.sam for other options

I created the file bspfilters.dat with the lines you said:

[BSPlayer filter def file]
AddFilter {93A22E7A-5091-45ef-BA61-6DA26156A5D0},Vobsub

But it doesn't work. I am using BSPlayer 1.02 Build 812. I'll wait for the next release. Thanks!

I don't know if this will help but try switching the Video Rendering to Overlay Mode 2 (overlay mixer.) I use .mkv files with embedded .ass subtitles all the time and can verify they do work in BSPlayer.

Maybe you should put this line

Code:

AddFilter {9852A670-F845-491B-9BE6-EBD841B8A613},DirectVobSub (auto-loading version)

It will force BSPlayer to load DirectVobSub (not VobSub) according to DirectVobSub settings, i.e. "Do not load", "Load when needed", "Always load", and subtitles searching option enabled. On the other side

Code:

AddFilter {93A22E7A-5091-45ef-BA61-6DA26156A5D0},Vobsub

only loads filter (always) when BSPlayer starts and you have to load subtitles manually.

This works perfect! Thanks.

Where to put this bspfilters.dat, under BSPlayer?

Garet_Jax · #9 (**permalink**) 29th September 2004

Yes, in your BSPlayer install directory.

Put into THIS file "\Program Files\Webteh\BSPlayer\bspfilters.dat" the above mentioned lines:

Code:

[BSPlayer filter def file]
AddFilter {93A22E7A-5091-45ef-BA61-6DA26156A5D0},Vobsub

I bet you tried to edit "\Program Files\Webteh\BSPlayer\bspfilters.sam" I've tried also edit this file , then I discovered hopefully that this is a sample config file :D

I think this is your problem also! ;)

I have this problem as well, I would like to try pasting that code into bspfilters.dat, but I cannot find it! I only see bspfilters.sam. :?:

That's correct. That is a sample file for a bspfilters.dat-file.
Perhaps see second part of this post

Cool! It worked! Just had to place it in the right place ^^;

Again, thank you all who helped in this topic. 8)

Me, I cant :(

Media Player Classic read perfectly my file, but not bsplayer

Is it possible that BSPlayer read karaoke effect (ssa) in a mkv file ?

I run under win98, and use the last version of bsplayer.

Rogersmith · #16 (**permalink**) 26th August 2005

Well, I just reinstalled BS Player in hopes of correcting this problem.

I opened a MKV file, and went to turn on the subs, but the options are grayed.

I looked into the bspfilters.dat, and I have the code still the same as before:

; Filters that are always loaded
;AddFilter {9D2935C7-3D8B-4EF6-B0D1-C14064698794},DivXG400

;AddFilter {9852A670-F845-491B-9BE6-EBD841B8A613},DirectVobSub (auto-loading version)
[BSPlayer filter def file]
;AddFilter {93A22E7A-5091-45ef-BA61-6DA26156A5D0},Vobsub

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work like it did before. :?

Again, sorry for resurrecting an old topic, but I need some help.

Tizio · #17 (**permalink**) 27th August 2005

Try the night build BSplayer v1.3.6.824 (exe only)!
I hope that it will fix your problem, and don't worry for resurrecting an old post! It's a good thing to search for previous posts regarding owns problems before creating a new post, and if something similar is present, why not to resume the old post?!

Hm, I downloaded it, unziped it and replaced the one I had.

No change...... :(

I think I might need to reinstall VobSubs.. :?:

Oh goddamnit!

I installed "Matroska_Pack_Full_v1.1.1", and now BS Player won't open Matroska files. :evil:

Phew, ok I now installed "Matroska_Pack_Full_v1.0.3", and I can open Matroska files, but still no subs.
