Love this Program, Have a Couple Questions Though
-
First of all I would like to say that Movies by CraigWorks is awesome!
I just happening to stumble upon this application last week, spent a few days setting everything up.
I do have a couple questions however.
Subtitles are not playing for me and by default the subtitle track is not selected even though in the mkv file the subtitle track is flagged as default, this is the same behavior you would see if playing the file directly in VLC so maybe there is some setting to auto select the default subtitle track if one exists?
I've figured out that the required build of VLC will not play these type of subtitles, it gives an error that it does not support the "undf" format.
I don't suppose there is any kind of fix for this, I know newer versions of VLC support this format but break streaming.
What is the preferred method for submitting bug reports and suggestions, the forums or through the website? -
You are suppose to be able to add a VLC option (e.g. :sub-track=0) to default to the first subtitle, but there is an existing bug in the code that prevents this. I will fix this in next release.
If you must use the latest VLC because of unsupported subtitles in 1.0.4 then I would suggest upgrade to latest VLC and setting up VLC as an external player. The disadvantage is you will lose the ability to play from last postion and control other displays.
Eventually, I will update the app with a later release of VLC. But this is dependent on the plug-in component working correctly.
Lastly, the best place to submit bugs and suggestions is on this forum so others can benefit.
Thanks,
Craig
