Matt, I see this on every mkv file I have (I think). in the LAV settings, there's on/full, forced (auto), off. Forced (auto) are the subs that the splitter reads as forced from the main sub stream. they are not actually a separate stream in the file, just some magic that Nev has created.
if you go into the LAV settings, you'll see the option. MC doesn't expose all of this as optional, and setting it in LAV settings while a video is running is not a permanent change. it's back to full or off the next time I play a video; even the same video again, IIFC.
I believe these forced (auto) subs are showing correctly in the stream selection, there's just no way to make this the default behavior/selection; none that I could find anyway
I'm having trouble with forced subs.
An example is Green Zone where there's Arabic dialogue with supposed forced subs with English translation. I have the forced subs stream selected, but no subs appear. Tried lots of options in the LAV configuration panel, filled in the language bits, tried to toggle the forced options, but nada.
It's bad for WAF! The only way to get the subs to show correctly is to manually select the correct sub stream. It is a problem with this disc as there are about 4 or 5 different english subs to choose from(full subs, directors commentary subs, subs with descriptions for deaf etc. ). Not good forthe other half who just expects it to work!
I'm guessing that no subs are output because the audio language is English despite the occasional Arabic.
Works fine in PowerDVD. Not sure where the issue is? JRiver or LAV?
Is this fixable, or too difficult?
