[Feature request] button to pick subtitle

Hi Ronie and all,

Again, absolutely beautiful and practical skin! So here's another food for thought:

In Boxee, there is this magnificent subtitle feature when playing movies. I understand it's embedded in the skin they use.

When playing a movie, push the 'subtitle' button, and a list of subtitles in different languages is being presented. Select one of them and automagically the subtitle is added to the running movie.

I think this a kick-ass feature that would make the usages of xbmc/Transparency even more comfortable and luxurious.

Anyway, my 2 cents.

Thanks for considering!

check this: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=56083

for now, you'll have to use the VideoOSD.xml provided with the script.
the next release of Transparency will have the 'Get Subtitles' button already in the OSD and also support other Subtitle scripts (if available).

Thanks Ronie. OSD works and opensubtitle.org windows opens and I can browse subtitles. Upon selecting one, it is being downloaded (at least it shows on the screen), but no subtitle is shown. The Audio section of the OSD shows the correct subtitle (the name and 1 out of 1), but upon browsing, the subtitle is not there. (same location as the movie)

I'm using a samba share to store my video's and xbmc has admin rights.

Any clues please?

Cheers!

cheers. :-)

This is also something I wanted. Thanks,

Many thanks Ronie, many thanks!

Can't wait to try the next release :-)

Looks great, I like the new OSD

So, you changed the menu-like osd to icons in the info-pane? Really nice, the menu looked ok, but in the middle of the screen it was a quite disturbing.

But how does it work now? Currently, with 'm' you get the menu, with 'i' the info-pane shows up. Where's the 'info'-icon now that shows up the plot? Will media-flaqs still show up? There seems to be enough space on the left of the transport-controls. And what about chapter-numbers, i can't seen them in the screenshot.

Keep up the good work, I think transparency has really the potential to become the next default-skin!

the info pane is still unchanged. so 'i' will still bring it up.
'm' will bring up the new menu, which will look quite similar to the info plane.

all that will still be in the info pane.
maybe i'll add it to the menu too and make info and menu exactly the same.
