Hi there!
I've been digging around a bit for a solution to this but I haven't been able to find one, so I figured I should make a post about it. If this is discussed somewhere else I'm sorry, I've spent a few hours scouring the web for info but haven't been able to make heads or tails out of this.
My problem is a fairly simple one:
When playing an MKV file with embedded subtitles, my external subtitle files are not loaded.
I.E. I have a file "movie.mkv" with one embedded subtitle (french, and I don't understand french very well). In the directory of "movie.mkv" I also have a "movie.srt". Now, having set up VSFilter to load both embedded and external subtitles, MediaPortal refuses to load the external subtitle file.
When playing an MKV without embedded subtitles, loading external subs is no problem. Neither am I having problems with other file types.
I haven't tested any other formats with embedded subtitles because I have none available right now. From what I've gathered by reading posts on this forum and others, some people are suspicious of Haali Media Splitter being the culprit, but I have no personal opinion about that (yet).
Some help with this would be appreciated, because it seems every other movie I want to watch these days comes with embedded subs in one or more languages which I don't want or need.
Cheers!
PS: Devs, thanks for an amazingly useful bit of code.
