SUB/IDX Subtitle Issue

[imoviedl]

hi

as you said on Issue #1035 support of sub/idx subtitle has been set on 1.9.1 but it has an issue.

i've tested on many players like samsung H series TV or samsung and sony xperia mobile, all goes to same result.

when we turn on burned subtitle support and playing a file with sub/idx, we can't seek on video and have to wait untill players going on. that's too bad.

another problem is color reversing means that i have a yellow subtitle with black border and when i playing on DLNA its changes to black color and yellow border.

and last problem is aspect ratio issue, means inside the idx file its set to 720480 means 1.5 aspect ratio, when we play file on 1080p the position of subtitle had to set on center of screen on buttom but that will be fixed on 720480 pixel and didn't get any aspect ratio.

thanks for your support.

Seeking is expected to not work, due to the file being transcoded.

re: the color change, that's weird as it's just a bitmap being applied to the video. Can you try to update ffmpeg version and try again?

For aspect ratio, can you post output of ffmpeg -i for the video file and the subtitle file?

Aspect ratio is probably similar to #901

how can i update ffmpeg? https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ which version?

is that any way to make seeking fixed? can you transcode whole subtitle on start of playing?

without seeking, sub/idx support is useless.

thanks

Get a static build for your platform and replace the ffmpeg.exe in Serviio's lib folder.

Seeking wont work on most DLNA devices, becuse they dont support time-based seek. byte-based seek won't work as we don't know what the future file size of transcoded file will look like.
