Meez Wrote:i noticed in the skin hack for PM3.HD/PMIII that the subtitles button replaces the dvd menu button. i was playing a full dvd from my network, but couldn't get back to the dvd menu because the button is replaced with the subtitles button. i use a controller and do not have a remote.

any chance to add both buttons to the videoosd.xml? maybe add the dvd menu button to the right side of the osd?

thanks!

Amet Wrote:The problem you are having is VideoOSD.xml is not sending enough arguments.

Amet Wrote:as I said, the search string is created from the name on the OSD.

for example: I have a movie "Twilight.[2008].PREMIERE.DVDRIP.XVID.[Eng]-DUQA.avi"

if the movie is in the library the search string is Name > Twilight, Year >2008

if the movie is not in a Library it will try and find out the name and year in which case it will be the same....

The "dvdrip", "hdtv", "cam" or so would be taken out of the search string



see the search string...thats what gets sent to the search server...

when the search results are returned it displays "59 subtitles found for "Twilight.[2008].PREMIERE.DVDRIP.XVID.[Eng]-DUQA.avi" "
The reason I left it there as the full name of the file is that I thought it's easier to match the subtitle if you know the real name of the file. It can be changed so it displays "Twilight (2008)" provided that you have the movie in Library.


searching for TvShows is a bit more complicated but if your TV show is displaying correctly in your library and the XBMC has recognized it as TvShow with season and episode name, it will create the appropriate search strings for OpenSubtitles and Sublight as they are not the same.

User input is doable but I just dont think its needed if you are using XBMC to its full potential.

I do not agree completely with you well for example if you download one video file released by one of the group for example lets take 'Night.at.the.Museum.Battle.of.the.Smithsonian.DVDRip.XviD.AC3-DEViSE' well the original name of the file released by this group is 'devise-themusdvd.avi' so if you do not change manually the file name, then the searching without hash will return no results. The only way to bypass this would be to manually have the abillity to change the search string.

I hope you know what i think. Of course if the hash searching would work than these feature will not be needed so often, but sometimes it still would be. at the moment until the hash over SMB is not working it would make this very useful feature.

Well after your last post i have made some additional tests. I assume you were testing over SMB with OpenSubtitles. Well this one is working over samba, but sublight dost not return anything, it just hangs at searching subtitles. This you have already in my .log file.

The second is that the script returns error if you try to search the subtitle for the video file that is compressed in .rar (originally released by groups).

Amet Wrote:Glad you worked it out....

How long before you release the skin?

ronie Wrote:i really don't have a release schedule. ;-)

a rough estimate would be, in two weeks.

I have been using the current one on AppleTv but it seems a bit slow, like it lags a bit. It seems that ATV's 1ghz chip is not good enough for anything other than MediaStream. anyone else complained about it?

even xbox users are saying the skin runs pretty smooth.
