VLC Subtitles Problem

Submitted by BillSagat on September 10, 2008 - 3:56pm

Hi,
I am trying to play an avi file with embedded subtitles. I can see the subtitles track under Video>Subtitles Track, however I am not able to get the subtitles to show on the screen. The Messages window shows the following information.

main error: failed to open OSD definition file osdmenu/default.cfg
main error: creating OSD menu object failed
osdmenu error: osdmenu filter discarded

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can correct this problem?

Thanks

VLC: automatically launch file

Submitted by glederfein on September 7, 2008 - 10:00am

Hi all!
I use VLC Portable mainly to listen to my favorite jazz station (WBGO). Anyways, I'm getting tired of always having to copy the streaming audio link of the station into VLC. Is there a way for the stream to automatically load once I open VLC? That would be very useful.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
glederfein

VLC: My simple experiment

Submitted by m2 on July 27, 2008 - 6:13pm

I downloaded VLC Portable today and got immediately annoyed by it's splash screen (as usually). This time I decided not to make a mess in the main directory by adding a config file and recompile it instead. As I did it already, I decided to remove the rest of stuff that's useless for me, like MUI and CRC check.
Then I decided to make a performance test.
Result?
Original launcher: 2.28s (VLC showed up a bit before, but a splash screen covered it anyway).
My launcher: 0.15s. I redid the tests 3 times each, all were within 0.02s.
