Built in player or external? - Page 2

How do u get an external player to close automaticly when a file is finished playing?

I use media player classic for x264 and when for example an episode of a TV-series (tv series plugin) is finished, media player only stops and I have to close it manually (window open on top of mediaportal.) with the mouse or keyboard.

Also: Is there any way tio "get rid of" the view of media player starting up, going to fullscreen etc that shows quicky on top of media portal before the file plays?

I'm going to use Power DVD 8 for DVD .iso/.img and Blu-ray files from HDD+ blu ray discs. Would like the same there. That program ends/closes when finished playing. A special key to close from remote would also be nice because I'd like to "get rid of" the keyboard mouse for as much as possible.

Still stuck with an external player due to MP not supporting resynching subtitles on the fly.

Zoom Player does it, KMPlayer does it, Mplayer does it, XBMC does it. I've asked several times, but it appears nobody knows what I'm talking about. It's not as if out of synch subs are so rare, especially for tv series.

MPlayer is not MPC. It seems i was confused.

@ kazuma666

Are your subs external ie. .srt etc? If they are embedded, you can get the internal dshow player to handle them quite satisfactorily.

Hi Goose,

Do you know if MP internal player is able to display divX 6 embedded subtitles ? and How?

After try every posible codec configuration, I got working subtitles in MP4 files (nero h264), but no luck with DivX.

When playing a DivX file with subtitles I get the following error:

"A decoder for the new track could not be found. track type: "

The file plays fine after pressing OK. The OSD shows the subtitle as "ACTIVE" and "Undetermine Subtitle - EN". However, subtitles are NOT displayed.

THANKS

@canachi

I had a quick look, but I have bad news. It seems that divx's player is the only thing that supports xsubs.

VSfilter will probably be the first to support it when it comes you you mikgjht want to check here every once in a while.
