GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 605404
playbin2 should allow selection of vobsub to display
Last modified: 2011-05-23 14:27:59 UTC
Currently playbin2 can render a vobsub subtitle muxed inside a mkv-Stream. The problem is, that there is no possibility to select the stream ("n-text" property is 0). With multiple subtitle streams its a random choice, which is displayed (at least it seems so). With this stream: Input #0, matroska, from 'XXXXXX.mkv': Duration: 02:07:06.03, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A Stream #0.0: Video: h264, yuv420p, 720x304, PAR 187:180 DAR 187:76, 25 tbr, 1k tbn, 50 tbc Stream #0.1(ger): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16 Stream #0.2(eng): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16 Stream #0.3(ger): Subtitle: dvdsub Stream #0.4(eng): Subtitle: dvdsub Stream #0.5(ger): Subtitle: dvdsub Stream #0.6(eng): Subtitle: dvdsub I would expect: n-video: 1 n-audio: 2 n-text: 4
Playing with it a bit more, I noticed, that I had to set subpic-sink and text-sink to fakesink to get rid of any subtitle rendering, setting only one of these to a fakesink still showed the subtitle.
This shouldn't be a problem anymore with latest releases.
