Hello,
just checked the latest version of MC. There are still problems with the ASS subtitles.
OK, maybe this feature isn't very important to most people, because ASS is used mostly in anime. But I want an all in one media center solution, so this feature is important (since I still watch two shows once in a while).
I like the features of MC (especially the audio related ones), but this "missing feature" is bothering me, because I still need a second solution (like XBMC as frontend and MPC-HC/MadVR for playback).
MPC-HC (and other players) can render ASS correctly (and that for a long time). Why not MC?
(The other subtitle features are awesome, like moving or resizing the subtitle.)
I hope you can fix this problem.
Best regards,
henryk

ASS is a very complicated specification, and implementing it completely takes month of work.
If you have specific samples that are rendered wrong, i would recommend to make a small sample and share it here, so that Matt and the others can have a look and improve their renderer.

Isn't there a renderer which you could simply implement/include?

I would also really appreciate the possibility to choose an alternative renderer like xy-VSFilter http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168282 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168282) for subtitle rendering. I suppose this would be the easiest way to provide better ASS support.
Best regards,
Mason

MC's subtitle engine should support the common ASS tokens like size, color, fonts, basic animation, etc.
As nevcairiel said, if you could provide specific sample files, we might be able to solve the problems you're most bothered by.
