[QUOTE="offbyone, post: 1107395, member: 73415"] [B]OT:[/B] [SIZE=3]Large parts of the extension handling code were done by a different user. There's quite a bit of refactoring in it and it is a lot of code to go through and understand before one can even see what needs to be done. You cannot expect anyone to happily jump onto a task like that. It is much easier to start fresh with small problem/bug/missing feature. Most of us only have limited time, so working on smaller tasks is much preferred. I knew from the beginning that an undertaking of that magnitude had the danger of never being finished when the dev gets caught up in real life again. Even if you think of plugin handling as an important feature, and personally don't have any use for subtitles - I would still call it important to enable MP2 to display subtitles out of the box. Many countries do not dub the audio and simply leave the original audio with subs in the country's language. Then we also have hearing impaired people that are forced to read dialog. Another thing are movies with foreign parts spoken in foreign language where forced subtitles need to be shown. So IMHO subtitles out of the box is more important than e.g. Lastest Media and Right to Left support ;) As you can see, every dev has a different view on what is "important". Which is fine - but I was hoping to still be able to ask questions how to implement something and get an answer before I go ahead and implement it the way I think it should be done and afterwards get opinions that it should be done differently - very frustrating.[/SIZE] [B]Back to Topic:[/B] This thread started out with finding subtitles and since we discovered that MP2 does not yet handle subtitles out of the box, I started to implemented that part first by including the xy-SubFilter. You shared concerns about BluRay,DVD,TS Players (which I mentioned should not be a problem). Then I asked a question: And then the topic froze :( Whom if not the lead dev should I expect to answer, because you are the one that will decide if my code goes to master or not? [/QUOTE]
