[fixed] - Forced subtitles still not work | Page 4

Hi Seb,

Just did a quick test with your latest dll's.

Worked like a charm mate.

I created a test mkv using mkvmerge (you can guess which movie ). Only included the first English Sub stream and had mkvmerge create a forced sub stream. At first it didn't work then I remembered that mkvmerge doesn't set the forced flag, only the default flag

Fired up MKVtoolnix and used the header editor to set the forced flag on the forced stream, re-tested and bingo. Forced subs appeared.

This is without having "autoload subtitles" enabled (as it should be). Using the context menu I can enable full subs if I wish. Sweet.

Don't suppose it'll help with the above problem but for reference I'm using LAV Splitter, LAV Audio (0.29) and the Arcsoft video decoder from TMT5 (DXVA). District 9 has a DTS-MA audio track which I'm decoding so LAV audio is using the Arcsoft dll for that.

Thank's for the heads-up on this. Will test a few more titles ASAP and report any problems. In the meantime if you'd like any information or would like me to test anything specific, just ask.

All the best,

Mick.

I see that this feature added to mantis roadmap, may be mark topic as BUG or FEATURED?
0003596: Add support for Forced Flag with LAV Splitter and MPC-HC Engine - MediaPortal Bugtracker

This is listed as fixed but I still cannot get forced subs to work. I am using SAF6, I've tried the dll that sebsastii posted and I tested it with the video sample he posted. Subs are set to MPC-HC forced only and I have MP Audio switcher set in post processing. Any suggestions?

Actually it is working now.
