Subtitle fixes. Everything else is unchanged from v0.3.
Every subtitle file beside a video is offered now
If a video had more than one subtitle file next to it, only one of them showed
up — so a second language simply could not be selected, because it was never in
the list to select.
The subtitle filter is not told "add this file". It is handed a name, drops the
extension, and loads everything beside it sharing that stem — and it forgets
whatever it was already holding each time. Handing it each file in turn was
therefore taking subtitles away rather than gathering them, and only the last
name handed over survived. Two files with different language suffixes and no
plain <name>.srt between them left exactly one track.
It now works out the one name that reaches the most of what was found and hands
over only that. And when the filter has already found everything by itself —
which it does for an ordinary video file — it is left alone rather than reloaded.
Reported on the forum, where the diagnosis was most of the way there already.
Thanks for the log; it made this straightforward.
Kodi's subtitle appearance settings work
Font, size, style, colour, opacity, border size and colour, background box,
shadow and blur — all of it under Settings → Player → Language. None of it did
anything before, on any build: Kodi's own subtitle renderer stands down the
moment a subtitle filter is in the graph, and that was the only place those
settings were ever read. The filter drew in a style of its own with nothing
connecting the two.
The whole appearance now reaches the filter, transparency included. Changing a
setting mid-film updates the font, size and colour immediately; opacity, border
width and the background take effect on the next file.
Two notes:
- Subtitles are no longer bold by default, because Kodi's font style setting
defaults to Normal and it is now actually being read. Set it to Bold under
Settings → Player → Language if you preferred the old look. - If you use xy-VSFilter with other players, its own style settings are left
exactly as you had them — Kodi borrows them while it builds the graph and puts
them straight back.
Also
- A font chosen in Kodi that Windows does not have installed is now used instead
of being silently replaced with a fallback. - The renderer used when no subtitle filter is present was reading three settings
that have not existed for several Kodi releases, and reading opacity upside
down. Fixed.
Requirements are unchanged — madVR, LAV Filters, xy-VSFilter (tested with
pfmod 3.2.0.810) and Java JRE 8 (newer runtimes break libbluray). See the
documentation
if this is your first install.
