Problems loading RMVB with subtitles and resolution.

[goonjamin]

Recently I got some movie collection compressed in RMVB (Real Media) and came with extra SRT (subtitle) files with it. When playing trough WIIMC the video plays just fine, but subtitles never load or play. 😮

Then tested MPLAYER CE to check if it was my mistake and surprise, surprice… The video and subtitles play smootly and no delay what so ever. 😯

Then make a discovery, the video shows better in MPLAYER CE than on WIIMC, there seems like there is a misscolor problem, probably there is a different color depth used, seems like playing 16b graphics (65K colors) versus 24b (16.7M colors) on MPLAYER CE. That decreases a lot of banding on colors when playing videos compressed in almost all codecs supported by these two great media players. :geek:

I know that enabling more color depht makes the memory used bigger, and that has been a concern with the WIIMC coding, so please check the possibility of this. 😀

Keep up the good work. Hope this information helps the scene. :geek:

Very strange, wiimc & mplayer_ce use the same base
can you test this beta? http://www.mediafire.com/?pq98rtvnxbpnt9x
If the problem persist I’ll need a video & a sub file to test
send to my email links: rodries at wiimc.org

Tested the Beta already and here are the results: 😀

– Subtitles don’t load when using FTP neither from RMVB or DivX or any format (well, only MKB with incrusted subtitles work). Tested with my Filezilla Server and seems that WIIMC is only asking for the video file, not the subtitle. :geek:

– The video problem is still there, seems like a color loss, don’t know why, as you say the compile is the same. STRANGE. 😯

Hope this info helps you out. Keep up the good work. :ugeek:
