Subtitle filenaming conventions (1 Viewer)

[kiwijunglist]

Hi

Currently the following file naming formats are supported
%movie.name%.srt
%movie.name%-Language.srt
%movie.name%.Language.srt

But not
%movie.name% Language.srt
%movie.name%_Language.srt

This is with the default subtitle settings and MPC-HC as the subtitle handler.

The two non supported formats are actually very common file naming conventions for included subtitles (especially the underscore character), so I think they should also be supported without requiring the user to rename all their files.

The tweak need to be done on C++ side i think

Can you confirm that MPC-HC Player does the same ?

 

[kiwijunglist]

will check

MPC-HC.exe Supports
%movie.name%.srt
%movie.name%-Language.srt
%movie.name%.Language.srt

MPC-HC.exe Doesn't support
%movie.name% Language.srt
%movie.name%_Language.srt

Also: I noticed some inconsistency with how MP displays the name of external subtitles

Example: "Movie.2004.DVDRip.XviD_ENG.PT-BR.avi"

Movie.2004.DVDRip.XviD_ENG.PT-BR.English.srt --> Displayed as "English" in MP & MPC-HC
Movie.2004.DVDRip.XviD_ENG.PT-BR-English.srt --> Displayed as "PT-BR-English" in MP & "-English" in MPC-HC

Have you got an account on the MPC-HC forums?

 

[Sebastiii]

I think so but i will try to ask help on IRC

 

[kiwijunglist]

Thanks, I think me asking might be a waste of time.

PS. When I say they are common, I actually mean they are "not that much of an uncommon way for subtitles to be named"
