SUB: Could not determine file format
Cannot load subtitles: MacrossF - 23.ass
(The subtitles work ok if I use -ass)
Looking at the subtitle file I realized it has a lot of empty lines (more than 200) just after this:
[Events]
Format: Layer, Start, End, Style, Name, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, Effect, Text
If I remove those empty lines then mplayer can load the subtitle file.
I think those empty lines make the function sub_autodetect() in subreader.c to fail (it returns SUB_INVALID). It seems that function only checks the first 100 lines of the file.
